You want to create a space in which people feel safe to think outside the box, test new approaches, and yes, even fail.

It is on our failures that we base a new and different and better success.

I don’t understand a way to work other than bold-facedly running towards failure.

Don’t bury your failures, let them inspire you.

"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it."

Do not waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.

A failure doesn’t mean you are unworthy, nor does it preclude success on the next try.

Failure always brings something valuable with it. I don’t let it leave until I extract that value.

Sorrow, disappointment, failure – learn from them. Then let them go.

Never walk away from failure. On the contrary, study it carefully and imaginatively for its hidden assets.

You must cut yourself loose from the past and open your eyes to the present.

Once the ego inflates it will only come back to earth through some jarring failure.

Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.

Talk about your failures without apologizing.

No human ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail and recover and improve, the better you are as a person.

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.

Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 

Failure is painful, and our feelings about this pain tend to screw up our understanding of its worth. To disentangle the good and the bad parts of failure, we have to recognize both the reality of the pain and the benefit of the resulting growth.

Being open about problems is the first step toward learning from them… We must think of the cost of failure as an investment in the future.

You are not your idea, and if you identify too closely with your ideas, you will take offense when they are challenged.

When you make a mistake, you should learn to take a deep breath, grit your teeth, and then examine your own recollections of the mistake as ruthlessly and as dispassionately as you can manage.

Try to acquire the weird practice of savoring your mistakes, delighting in uncovering the strange quirks that led you astray.

Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say “so what”. That’s one of my favorite things to say: “So what”.

Every time they told me “no”, I just got stronger.

Impossible is for the unwilling.

No pressure, no diamonds.

Stay foolish to stay sane.

Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

He who is brave is free.

Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.

My life is my message. 

Screw it, let’s do it.

Boldness be my friend.

My life is my argument.

Dream big. Pray bigger.

Fight till the last gasp.

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

You can if you think you can.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

The past does not equal the future.

Forget about style; worry about results.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

Whatever you do, do with all your might.

Throw away your books; stop letting yourself be distracted.

The best way to avenge yourself is to not be like that.

At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work — as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for — the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?”

Don’t be overheard complaining… Not even to yourself.

Such as are your habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of your mind.

Very little is needed for everything to be upset and ruined, only a slight lapse in reason.
