Best Quotes about Failure
You must think of failure and defeat as the springboards to new achievements or to the next level of accomplishment.
Brown, Les
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
He's no failure. He's not dead yet.
George, William Lloyd
Failure is not an option.
Movie, Apollo 13
If you're willing to fail interestingly, you tend to succeed interestingly.
Edward Albee
If you have tried to do something and failed, you are vastly better off than if you had tried to do nothing and succeeded. You must never regret what might have been. The past that did not happen is as hidden from us as the future we cannot see.
Stern, Richard Martin
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
I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.
Robbins, Anthony
When you stand at the edge of the cliff, jump to fly, not to fall.
No matter how far you have gone on a wrong road, turn back.
Proverb, Turkish
The greatest failure is a person who never admits that he can be a failure.
Weiskott, Gerald. N.
A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Failure is an event, never a person.
Brown, William D.
Every person who has become successful has simply formed the habit of doing things that failures dislike doing and will not do.
We are all failures -- at least, all the best of us are.
Barrie, Sir James M.
Act as if it were impossible to fail.
Dorothea Brande
They fail, and they alone, who have not striven.
Aldrich, Thomas B.
The man who tries to do something and fails is infinitely better than he who tries to do nothing and succeeds.
Jones, Lloyd
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.
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
You cannot explain failure any more than you can argue with success.
Clarke, J. Richard
Everything ultimately fails, for we die, and that is either the penultimate failure or our most enigmatical achievement.
Dahlberg, Edward
Those who have failed miserably are often the first to see God's formula for success.
Lutzer, Erwin W.
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.
I have not failed. I've just found 10, 000 ways that won't work.
Edison, Thomas A.
Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.
Carver, George Washington
A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake.
Confucius
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
Bartkowski, Steve
Defeat should never be a source of discouragement, but rather a fresh stimulus.
South, Bishop Robert
Remember that your failures are the seeds of your most glorious successes. Be sad if you must, but don't despair.
There is not a fiercer hell than the failure in a great object.
Keats, John
We all have a few failures under our belt. It's what makes us ready for the successes.
Randy K. Milholland
Everyone should fail in a big way at least once before reaching forty.
Neuharth, Al
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
What is defeat? Nothing but education. Nothing but the first step to something better.
Phillips, Wendell
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.
If you've never failed you've never tried.
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
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.
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
Turn your scars into stars
Schuller, Robert H.
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
A hard fall means a high bounce... if you're made of the right material.
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
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.
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
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
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
Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.
Waitley, Denis
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
