Failure

Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.
- Vauvenargues, Marquis De

Best Quotes about Failure

1.
We all have a few failures under our belt. It's what makes us ready for the successes.
Randy K. Milholland

2.
If you've never failed you've never tried.

3.
Defeat should never be a source of discouragement, but rather a fresh stimulus.
South, Bishop Robert

4.
The most important of my discoveries has been suggested to me by my failures.
Davy, Sir Humphrey

5.
I have always felt that although someone may defeat me, and I strike out in a ball game, the pitcher on the particular day was the best player. But I know when I see him again, I'm going to be ready for his curve ball. Failure is a part of success. There is no such thing as a bed of roses all your life. But failure will never stand in the way of success if you learn from it.
Aaron, Hank

6.
You cannot explain failure any more than you can argue with success.
Clarke, J. Richard

7.
Success is 99 percent failure.
Honda, Soichiro

8.
Use the losses and failures of the past as a reason for action, not inaction.
Givens, Charles J.

9.
There is only one failure in life possible, and that is not to be true to the best one knows.
Eliot, George

10.
Failures are like skinned knees, painful but superficial.
Perot, H. Ross

11.
Losing is a part of winning.
Munro, Dick

12.
Failure is not the worst thing in the world -- the very worst is not to try

13.
Some defeats are only installments to victory.
Riis, Jacob

14.
We learn from failure much more than from success; we often discover what we will do by finding our what we will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
Smiles, Samuel

15.
Every person who has become successful has simply formed the habit of doing things that failures dislike doing and will not do.

16.
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
Bartkowski, Steve

17.
Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.
John Keats

18.
Who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet.
Proverb, German

19.
We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. It is a powerful obstacle to growth. It assures the progressive narrowing of the personality and prevents exploration and experimentation. There is no learning without some difficulty and fumbling. If you want to keep on learning, you must keep on risking failure all your life.
Gardner, John W.

20.
You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Disney, Walt

21.
I have not failed. I've just found 10, 000 ways that won't work.
Edison, Thomas A.

22.
No one ever won a chess game by betting on each move. Sometimes you have to move backward to get a step forward.
Bose, Amar Gopal

23.
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

24.
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

25.
You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.
Cole, Edwin Louis

26.
Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.
Winfrey, Oprah

27.
There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.
Sivananda, Sri Swami

28.
People in their handlings of affairs often fail when they are about to succeed. If one remains as careful at the end as he was at the beginning, there will be no failure.
Lao-Tzu

29.
It is for want of application, rather than of means that people fail,
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

30.
No matter how far you have gone on a wrong road, turn back.
Proverb, Turkish

31.
Failure -- The man who can tell others what to do and how to do it, but never does it himself.
Hubbard, Elbert

32.
If you're willing to fail interestingly, you tend to succeed interestingly.
Edward Albee

33.
Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped.
Proverb, African

34.
The world itself is pregnant with failure, is the perfect manifestation of imperfection, of the consciousness of failure.
Miller, Henry

35.
If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.
Porsche, Dr.

36.
Men do not fail; they give up trying.
Root, Elihu

37.
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.

38.
The man who tries to do something and fails is infinitely better than he who tries to do nothing and succeeds.
Jones, Lloyd

39.
You can't be a winner and be afraid to lose.
Lynch, Charles

40.
Never give a man up until he has failed at something he likes.
Lawes, Lewis E.

41.
In the end, the only people who fail are those who do not try.
Viscott, David

42.
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

43.
If all this happened to you what paradigm might you develop? How might that paradigm affect you in terms of your life from that point on? What does this tell you about Abe? There are no failures, only lessons to be learned.
Winfrey, Oprah

44.
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

45.
Not many people are willing to give failure a second opportunity. They fail once and it's all over. The bitter pill of failure is often more than most people can handle. If you're willing to accept failure and learn from it, if you're willing to consider failure as a blessing in disguise and bounce back, you've got the potential of harnessing one of the most powerful success forces.
Sugarman, Joseph

46.
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

47.
We need to teach the highly educated man that it is not a disgrace to fail and that he must analyze every failure to find its cause. He must learn how to fail intelligently, for failing is one of the greatest arts in the world.
Kettering, Charles F.

48.
The man who fails because he aims astray or because he does not aim at all is to be found everywhere.
Swinnerton, Frank

49.
A man's life is interesting primarily when he has failed -- I well know. For it's a sign that he tried to surpass himself.
Clemenceau, Georges

50.
I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.
Sophocles
