- Dorothea Brande
Failure Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Failure

1.
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

2.
I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.
Edison, Thomas A.

3.
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

4.
It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not lived at all. In which case, you've failed by default.
J.K. Rowling

5.
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.

6.
I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.
Sophocles

7.
Failure is the tuition you pay for success.
Brunell, Walter

8.
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

9.
You cannot explain failure any more than you can argue with success.
Clarke, J. Richard

10.
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

11.
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.

12.
It is for want of application, rather than of means that people fail,
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

13.
Edison failed 10, 000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.
Hill, Napoleon

14.
The moment avoiding failure becomes your motivation, you're down the path of inactivity. You stumble only if you're moving.
Goizueta, Roberto

15.
If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.
Bill Lyon

16.
Nobody cleared a path for themselves by giving up.
Alacia Bessette

17.
A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake.
Confucius

18.
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)

19.
If we don't see a failure as a challenge to modify our approach, but rather as a problem with ourselves, as a personality defect, we will immediately feel overwhelmed.
Robbins, Anthony

20.
Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.
Ruth, Babe

21.
Never give a man up until he has failed at something he likes.
Lawes, Lewis E.

22.
I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.
Patton, George S.

23.
Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
Nixon, Richard M.

24.
The man who tries to do something and fails is infinitely better than he who tries to do nothing and succeeds.
Jones, Lloyd

25.
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

26.
No man is a failure who is enjoying life.
Feather, William

27.
Who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet.
Proverb, German

28.
You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.
Cole, Edwin Louis

29.
Nothing fails like success because we don't learn from it. We learn only from failure.
Boulding, Kenneth Ewart

30.
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
Bartkowski, Steve

31.
Just because you've lost doesn't necessarily mean you've failed.

32.
It takes a lot more energy to fail than to succeed, since it takes a lot of concentrated energy to hold on to beliefs that don't work.
Gillies, Jerry

33.
The only people who never fail are those who never try.
Chase, Ilka

34.
There is much to be said for failure. It is more interesting than success.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

35.
No man is ever whipped until he quits in his own mind.
Hill, Napoleon

36.
No matter how far you have gone on a wrong road, turn back.
Proverb, Turkish

37.
He was a self-made man who owed his lack of success to nobody.
Heller, Joseph

38.
The great question is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with failure.
Proverb, Chinese

39.
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

40.
Failures are like skinned knees, painful but superficial.
Perot, H. Ross

41.
The typical human life seems to be quite unplanned, undirected, unlived, and unsavored. Only those who consciously think about the adventure of living as a matter of making choices among options, which they have found for themselves, ever establish real self-control and live their lives fully.
Albrecht, Karl

42.
I am often confronted by the necessity of standing by one of my empirical selves and relinquishing the rest. Not that I would not. If I could, be... a great athlete and make a million a year, be a wit, a born -- vivant and a lady killer,as well as a philosopher, a philanthropist ... and saint. But the thing is simply impossible. The millionaire's work would run counter to the saint s; the bon-vivant and the philanthropist would trip each other up; the philosopher and the lady killer could not well keep house in the same tenement of clay. Such different characters may conceivably, at the outset of life. Be alike possible for a man. But to make any one of them actual,the rest must more of less be suppressed. So the seeker of his truest, strongest, deepest self must review the list carefully and pick out on which to stake his salvation. All other selves thereupon become unreal, but the fortunes of this self are real. Its failure are real failures, its triumphs real triumphs carrying shame and gladness with them.
James, William

43.
Defeat should never be a source of discouragement, but rather a fresh stimulus.
South, Bishop Robert

44.
Every failure is a step to success.
Whewell, William

45.
Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped.
Proverb, African

46.
Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.
Vauvenargues, Marquis De

47.
My downfall raises me to infinite heights.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

48.
If you're willing to fail interestingly, you tend to succeed interestingly.
Edward Albee

49.
Many a man never fails because he never tries.
Macewan, Norman

50.
Accept failure as a normal part of living. View it as part of the process of exploring your world; make a note of its lessons and move on.
Hobson, Tom
