Failure is an event not a person

Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.

You have committed a double mistake, firstly by not keeping the engagement yesterday and secondly, by coming when you were not expected.

Failure is simply an opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

You will soon break the bow if you keep it always stretched.

If something's important enough, you should try. Even if you - the probable outcome is failure.

Man knows so much and does so little.

One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.

Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.

Nature never excuses lapses.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it.

Dream is not that you see in the sleep; dream is that does not allow you to sleep.

Great services are not canceled by one act or by one single error.

The worst prison would be a closed heart.

A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.

The fire that warms us can also consume us; it is not the fault of the fire.

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.

The wise say that our failure is to form habits: for habit is the mark of a stereotyped world.

Failure is the foundation of success, and the means by which it is achieved.
