Best Quotes about Failure

1.
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

2.
There is no loneliness greater than the loneliness of a failure. The failure is a stranger in his own house.
Hoffer, Eric

3.
Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory.

4.
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

5.
However things may seem, no evil thing is success and no good thing is failure.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

6.
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.

7.
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.

8.
We fail far more often by timidity than by over-daring.
Grayson, David

9.
The world itself is pregnant with failure, is the perfect manifestation of imperfection, of the consciousness of failure.
Miller, Henry

10.
Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.
Vauvenargues, Marquis De

11.
If you've never failed you've never tried.

12.
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

13.
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
Bartkowski, Steve

14.
The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.
Yogananda, Paramahansa

15.
No man is ever whipped until he quits in his own mind.
Hill, Napoleon

16.
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.

17.
Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.
Rohn, Jim

18.
The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.
Eliot, George

19.
Nothing fails like success because we don't learn from it. We learn only from failure.
Boulding, Kenneth Ewart

20.
There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.
Sivananda, Sri Swami

21.
To fail is a natural consequence of trying, To succeed takes time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for trying again.
Viscott, David

22.
Use the losses and failures of the past as a reason for action, not inaction.
Givens, Charles J.

23.
Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped.
Proverb, African

24.
The greatest failure is a person who never admits that he can be a failure.
Weiskott, Gerald. N.

25.
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.

26.
There is not a fiercer hell than the failure in a great object.
Keats, John

27.
The most important of my discoveries has been suggested to me by my failures.
Davy, Sir Humphrey

28.
Everyone pushes a falling fence.
Proverb, Chinese

29.
Failure is the path of least persistence

30.
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

31.
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.

32.
Nobody cleared a path for themselves by giving up.
Alacia Bessette

33.
There is much to be said for failure. It is more interesting than success.
Beerbohm, Sir Max

34.
They fail, and they alone, who have not striven.
Aldrich, Thomas B.

35.
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

36.
Anyone seen on a bus after age thirty has been a failure in life.
Loelia, Duchess

37.
If you are bitten by a snake, what's the best thing to do? Remain calm, separate the poison from the rest of your body, suck the poison out. Worst thing to do: get upset, chase and kill snake. Same when someone strikes out at you verbally. Remain calm, don't try to strike back at the other person. Don't let the poison spread throughout your system.

38.
Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.
Ruth, Babe

39.
If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless.
Schuller, Robert H.

40.
If you're not big enough to lose, you're not big enough to win
Reuther, Walter

41.
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

42.
Silicon Valley is a graveyard. Failure is Silicon Valley's greatest strength.

43.
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

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

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure... it just means you haven't succeeded yet.
Schuller, Robert H.

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

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