Motivational Quotes
Failure
I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.
Best Quotes about Failure
You will never stub your toe standing still. The faster you go, the more chance there is of stubbing your toe, but the more chance you have of getting somewhere.
Kettering, Charles F.
Thought is born of failure.
Whyte, Lancelot Law
In the end, the only people who fail are those who do not try.
Viscott, David
I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.
Edison, Thomas A.
There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no insurmountable barrier except our own inherent weakness of purpose.
Hubbard, Elbert
Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
Waitley, Denis
What is defeat? Nothing but education. Nothing but the first step to something better.
Phillips, Wendell
People don't fail, they give up
Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped.
Proverb, African
Act as if it were impossible to fail.
Dorothea Brande
There are few things more dreadful than dealing with a man who knows he is going under, in his own eyes, and in the eyes of others. Nothing can help that man. What is left of that man flees from what is left of human attention.
Baldwin, James
Losing is a part of winning.
Munro, Dick
Every person who has become successful has simply formed the habit of doing things that failures dislike doing and will not do.
If thou art a man, admire those who attempt great things, even though they fail.
Seneca
Use the losses and failures of the past as a reason for action, not inaction.
Givens, Charles J.
There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.
Sivananda, Sri Swami
Why is it so painful to watch a person sink? Because there is something unnatural in it, for nature demands personal progress, evolution, and every backward step means wasted energy.
Strindberg, J. August
Anyone seen on a bus after age thirty has been a failure in life.
Loelia, Duchess
I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed; and the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep on trying.
Hopkins, Tom
There is no such thing as accidental failure. All failure is at least half imposed.
Many men fail because they quit too soon. They lose faith when the signs are against them. They do not have the courage to hold on, to keep fighting in spite of that which seems insurmountable. If more of us would strike out and attempt the impossible, we very soon would find the truth of that old saying that nothing is impossible... abolish fear and you can accomplish anything you wish.
Welch, Dr. C. E.
A hard fall means a high bounce... if you're made of the right material.
We are all failures -- at least, all the best of us are.
Barrie, Sir James M.
There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man's lack of faith in his true Self.
James, William
There is much to be said for failure. It is more interesting than success.
Beerbohm, Sir Max
Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.
Rohn, Jim
Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.
Rohn, Jim
No man is ever whipped until he quits in his own mind.
Hill, Napoleon
No man is a failure who is enjoying life.
Feather, William
Remember your past mistakes just long enough to profit by them.
Mckinnon, Dan
Misfortunes one can endure -- they come from outside, they are accidents. But to suffer for one's own faults -- Ah! there is the sting of life.
Wilde, Oscar
A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.
Skinner, B(urrhus) F(rederic)
All honor to him who shall win the prize. The world has cried for a thousand years. But to him who tries and fails and dies, I give great honor and glory and tears.
Miller, Joaquin
A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Failures to heroic minds are the stepping stones to success.
Haliburton, Thomas C.
He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid.
Miller, Arthur
Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.
Vauvenargues, Marquis De
Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.
Kennedy, Robert F.
When you stand at the edge of the cliff, jump to fly, not to fall.
Sometimes the best gain is to lose.
Herbert, George
If you're not big enough to lose, you're not big enough to win
Reuther, Walter
All human beings have failings, all human beings have needs and temptations and stresses. Men and women who live together through long years get to know one another's failings; but they also come to know what is worthy of respect and admiration in those they live with and in themselves. If at the end one can say, This man used to the limit the powers that God granted him; he was worthy of love and respect and of the sacrifices of many people, made in order that he might achieve what he deemed to be his task, then that life has been lived well and there are no regrets.
Roosevelt, Eleanor
A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake.
Confucius
The most important of my discoveries has been suggested to me by my failures.
Davy, Sir Humphrey
Success is 99 percent failure.
Honda, Soichiro
Try as hard as we may for perfection, the net result of our labors is an amazing variety of imperfectness. We are surprised at our own versatility in being able to fail in so many different ways.
Samuel McChord Crothers
Failure, then, failure! so the world stamps us at every turn. We strew it with our blunders, our misdeeds, our lost opportunities, with all the memorials of our inadequacy to our vocation. And with what a damning emphasis does it then blot us out! No easy fine, no mere apology or formal expiation, will satisfy the world's demands, but every pound of flesh exacted is soaked with all its blood. The subtlest forms of suffering known to man are connected with the poisonous humiliations incidental to these results.
James, William
Silicon Valley is a graveyard. Failure is Silicon Valley's greatest strength.
We often say that the biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee to fail intelligently... to experiment over and over again and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work.
Kettering, Charles F.
No matter how far you have gone on a wrong road, turn back.
Proverb, Turkish
