Failure

Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.
- Walt Whitman
Failure Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Failure

1.
Failure is good. It's fertilizer. Everything I've learned about coaching, I've learned from making mistakes.
Pitino, Rick

2.
When we can begin to take our failures seriously, it means we are ceasing to be afraid of them. It is of immense importance to learn to laugh at ourselves.
Mansfield, Katherine

3.
Failure is in a sense the highway to success, as each discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true.
Keats, John

4.
Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped.
Proverb, African

5.
Failure too is a form of death...
Greene, Graham

6.
Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.
Vauvenargues, Marquis De

7.
If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.
Bill Lyon

8.
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

9.
Some defeats are only installments to victory.
Riis, Jacob

10.
We must expect to fail... but fail in a learning posture, determined no to repeat the mistakes, and to maximize the benefits from what is learned in the process.
Engstrom, Ted W.

11.
I think you actually get a kick out of being disappointed and under-achieving, because it's easier, isn't it? Failure and unhappiness is easier because you can make a joke out of it.
David Nicholls

12.
No failure in America, whether of love or money, is ever simple; it is always a kind of betrayal, of a mass of shadowy, shared hopes.
Marcus, Greil

13.
The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.
Yogananda, Paramahansa

14.
A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake.
Confucius

15.
Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.
Ziglar, Zig

16.
We pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. Go ahead and fail. But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. Embrace failure! Seek it out. Learn to love it. That may be the only way any of us will ever be free. Tom Robbins Before you give up hope, turn back and read the attacks that were made on Lincoln.
Barton, Bruce

17.
If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

18.
We fail far more often by timidity than by over-daring.
Grayson, David

19.
Just because you've lost doesn't necessarily mean you've failed.

20.
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.

21.
Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.
Kennedy, Robert F.

22.
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

23.
Never give a man up until he has failed at something he likes.
Lawes, Lewis E.

24.
Use the losses and failures of the past as a reason for action, not inaction.
Givens, Charles J.

25.
Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.
Fitzgerald, Ella

26.
What is defeat? Nothing but education. Nothing but the first step to something better.
Phillips, Wendell

27.
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

28.
Even a tombstone says good things about a fellow who's down.

29.
Past failures are guideposts to success.

30.
In the end, the only people who fail are those who do not try.
Viscott, David

31.
It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.
Gore Vidal

32.
The boy who is going to make a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats.
Roosevelt, Theodore

33.
The greatest failure is a person who never admits that he can be a failure.
Weiskott, Gerald. N.

34.
No matter how far you have gone on a wrong road, turn back.
Proverb, Turkish

35.
There is no failure for the man who realizes his power, who never knows when he is beaten; there is no failure for the determined endeavor; the unconquerable will. There is no failure for the man who gets up every time he falls, who rebounds like a rubber ball, who persists when everyone else gives up, who pushes on when everyone else turns back.
Marden, Orison Swett

36.
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

37.
Failure is not fatal; victory is not success.
Richardson, Tony

38.
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.

39.
You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what's that? Come up with a smiling face, It's nothing against you to fall down flatBut to lie there-that's a disgrace.
Cooke, E. V.

40.
A failure will not appear until a unit has passed final inspection.
Bloch, Arthur

41.
Failure is not an option.
Movie, Apollo 13

42.
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

43.
The only true failure lies in failure to start.
Walker, Harold Blake

44.
Everyone should fail in a big way at least once before reaching forty.
Neuharth, Al

45.
Failure is an event, never a person.
Brown, William D.

46.
You must think of failure and defeat as the springboards to new achievements or to the next level of accomplishment.
Brown, Les

47.
There is not a fiercer hell than the failure in a great object.
Keats, John

48.
Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.
Ruth, Babe

49.
No man is a failure who is enjoying life.
Feather, William

50.
Ultimately, we all have to decide for ourselves what constitutes failure, but the world is quite eager to give you a set of criteria if you let it.
J.K. Rowling
