Motivational Quotes

Failure

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.
Failure Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Failure

1.
There is no loneliness greater than the loneliness of a failure. The failure is a stranger in his own house.
Hoffer, Eric

2.
In God's world, for those who are in earnest, there is no failure. No work truly done, no word earnestly spoken, no sacrifice freely made, was ever made in vain.
Robertson, Frederick W.

3.
I never see failure as failure, but only as the game I must play and win.
Hopkins, Tom

4.
Turn your scars into stars
Schuller, Robert H.

5.
The world itself is pregnant with failure, is the perfect manifestation of imperfection, of the consciousness of failure.
Miller, Henry

6.
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

7.
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

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

10.
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.

11.
Failure too is a form of death...
Greene, Graham

12.
The surest way to fail is not to determine to succeed.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

13.
Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.
Waitley, Denis

14.
You're on the road to success when you realize that failure is only a detour.

15.
You can't be a winner and be afraid to lose.
Lynch, Charles

16.
What is defeat? Nothing but education. Nothing but the first step to something better.
Phillips, Wendell

17.
Defeat should never be a source of discouragement, but rather a fresh stimulus.
South, Bishop Robert

18.
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.

19.
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

20.
You must think of failure and defeat as the springboards to new achievements or to the next level of accomplishment.
Brown, Les

21.
If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

22.
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.

23.
My downfall raises me to infinite heights.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

24.
If you're not big enough to lose, you're not big enough to win
Reuther, Walter

25.
You win only if you aren't afraid to lose.
Aoki, Rocky

26.
Remember your past mistakes just long enough to profit by them.
Mckinnon, Dan

27.
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

28.
Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, I have failed three times,and what happens when he says, I am a failure.
Hayakawa, S. I.

29.
No man is ever whipped until he quits in his own mind.
Hill, Napoleon

30.
Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.
Carver, George Washington

31.
A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

32.
The world is divided into two categories: failures and unknowns.
Picabia, Francis

33.
Everything ultimately fails, for we die, and that is either the penultimate failure or our most enigmatical achievement.
Dahlberg, Edward

34.
It is for want of application, rather than of means that people fail,
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

35.
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.

36.
If you've never failed you've never tried.

37.
People don't fail, they give up

38.
Failure is the path of least persistence

39.
Thought is born of failure.
Whyte, Lancelot Law

40.
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.

41.
He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great.
Melville, Herman

42.
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

43.
In the end, the only people who fail are those who do not try.
Viscott, David

44.
Nobody cleared a path for themselves by giving up.
Alacia Bessette

45.
A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake.
Confucius

46.
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

47.
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

48.
It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.
Tracy, Brian

49.
Act as if it were impossible to fail.
Dorothea Brande

50.
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.
