FAILURE

We must be willing to fail and to
appreciate the truth that often

but a mystery to be lived."

it is glorious even to fail."

How far high failure overleaps
the bounds of low success.
Sir Lewis Morris

There are no failures -- only feedback.

Non-achievers stay home, because
they are frightened to try and to fail.
Successful people feel the same way.
They're frightened, too, but they try.
They go to work frightened. . . .
They go to social situations frightened. . . .
They go to meetings frightened. . . .
But they go.
Irene Kassorla

Success and happiness spring
from facing failure after
failure with enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill

I never view mistakes as failures.
They are simply opportunities
to find out what doesn't work.
Thomas Edison

Don't fear failure so much that
you refuse to try new things.
The saddest summary of a life
contains three descriptions:
could have, might have,
and should have.
Louis E. Boone

I don't know the key to
success, but the key to
failure is to try to
please everyone.
Bill Cosby

You may be disappointed if you fail,
but you are doomed if you don't try.

Success is not final,
failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to
continue that counts.
Winston Churchill

Failure is not fatal unless
you choose for it to be.
Anonymous

Failure is not fatal.
Only failure to get back up is.

Failure is a detour,
not a dead-end street.
Zig Ziglar

You don't always win your battles,
but it's good to know you fought.
John Greenleaf Whittier

Do not look where you fell,
but where you slipped.
African Proverb

---

It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt

---

Only those who dare to fail greatly
can ever achieve greatly.
Robert F. Kennedy

---

Failure is the foundation of truth.
It teaches us what isn't true,
and that is a great beginning.
To fear failure is to fear
the possibility of truth.
Joan Chittister

---

To me, success can be achieved only
through repeated failure and introspection.
In fact, success represents the 1%
of your work that results from
the 99% that is called failure.
Soichiro Honda
