Best Quotes about Failure

1.
Act as if it were impossible to fail.
Dorothea Brande

2.
Every failure is a step to success.
Whewell, William

3.
It's best to have failure happen early in life. It wakes up the Phoenix bird in you so you rise from the ashes.
Baxter, Anne

4.
You can give in to the failure messages and be a bitter deadbeat of excuses. Or you can choose to be happy and positive and excited about life.
Williams, A.L.

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)

6.
It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated... it is finished when it surrenders.
Stein, Ben

7.
Failure is not the worst thing in the world -- the very worst is not to try

8.
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

Failure is only postponed success as long as courage coaches ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.
Kaufman, Herbert

Movie, Apollo 13

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

14.
You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.
Cole, Edwin Louis

15.
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

16.
The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.
Eliot, George

17.
He's no failure. He's not dead yet.
George, William Lloyd

18.
It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.
Tracy, Brian

19.
Everyone pushes a falling fence.
Proverb, Chinese

20.
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

21.
The great question is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with failure.
Proverb, Chinese

22.
No matter how far you have gone on a wrong road, turn back.
Proverb, Turkish

23.
You must think of failure and defeat as the springboards to new achievements or to the next level of accomplishment.
Brown, Les

24.
When you stand at the edge of the cliff, jump to fly, not to fall.

25.
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

26.
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

27.
If you're not big enough to lose, you're not big enough to win
Reuther, Walter

28.
The greatest failure is a person who never admits that he can be a failure.
Weiskott, Gerald. N.

29.
The wise man realistically accepts as part of life and builds a philosophy to meet them and make the most of them. He lives on the principle of nothing attempted, nothing gained and is resolved that if he fails he is going to fail while trying to succeed.
Peterson, Wilferd A.

30.
Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

31.
If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

32.
Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.
Wooden, John

33.
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.

34.
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

35.
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.

36.
I cannot give the formula for success, but I can give you the formula of failure -- which is try to please everybody.
Swope, Herbert B.

37.
The man who fails because he aims astray or because he does not aim at all is to be found everywhere.
Swinnerton, Frank

38.
Even a tombstone says good things about a fellow who's down.

39.
No man is a failure who is enjoying life.
Feather, William

40.
There is much to be said for failure. It is more interesting than success.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

41.
Failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than I was and began diverting all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me.
J.K. Rowling

42.
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

43.
There is only one failure in life possible, and that is not to be true to the best one knows.
Eliot, George

44.
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

45.
The glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time you fall.

46.
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

47.
Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.
Kennedy, Robert F.

48.
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.

49.
You cannot explain failure any more than you can argue with success.
Clarke, J. Richard
