No matter what challenges or setbacks or disappointments you may encounter along the way, you will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal — there really is only one, and that is this: To fulfill the highest, most truthful expression of yourself as a human being.

The heart will break, but broken live on.

No worldly success can compensate for failure in the home.

You got to go down a lot of wrong roads to find the right one.

Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t change the truth that I am brave and worthy of love and belonging.

I must be taken as I have been made. The success is not mine, the failure is not mine, but the two together make me.

“Trying” is the biggest mistake you can make early on in a relationship. It sets a false expectation that you will eventually tire of.

Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.

Time heals griefs and quarrels, for we change and are no longer the same persons. Neither the offender nor the offended are any more themselves.

I’m not crying because of you; you’re not worth it. I’m crying because my delusion of who you were was shattered by the truth of who you are.

Ever has it been that loves knows not its own death until the hour of separation.

Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus.

One makes mistakes; that is life. But it is never a mistake to have loved.

Don’t brood. Get on with living and loving. You don’t have forever.

My best successes came on the heels of failures.

It’s failure that gives you the proper perspective on success.

Success is not built on success. It’s built on failure. It’s built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe.

People settle. They settle for less than they are capable of.

Quit or be exceptional. Average is for losers.

A little more persistence a little more effort and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

You can measure your worth by your dedication to your path, not by your successes or failures.

I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.

I’m not going to get somewhere and say, ‘OK, I’m done.’ Success is never final; I’ll just keep on going. The same way as failure never being fatal. Just keep going. I’m going to the stars and then past them.

In my experience, each failure contains the seeds of your next success – if you are willing to learn from it.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.

It is a mistake to suppose that people succeed through success; they often succeed through failures.

The only real failure is the failure to try, and the measure of success is how we cope with disappointment.

Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.

Even those who venture to dip a toe in the pond of risk never allow themselves to get used to the water.

Like success, failure is many things to many people. With positive mental attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, and a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order to prepare to try again.

Nothing fails like success because we don’t learn from it. We learn only from failure.

It doesn’t matter how far you might rise — at some point, you are bound to stumble. Because if you’re constantly doing what we do — raising the bar — if you’re constantly pushing yourself higher, higher, the law of averages predicts that you will, at some point, fall.

Remember this: There is no such thing as failure — failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.

There are defeats more triumphant than victories.

"It is a pity that, as one gradually gains experience, one loses one's youth."

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

Face failure head on, don’t be afraid of it, and people will support and welcome you even more.

I don’t want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.

If you’re waiting until you feel talented enough to make it, you’ll never make it.

Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.

I must say a word about fear. It is life’s only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know.

It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unnerving ease.

 It begins in your mind, always… so you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it.

There is no growth or success without change.

The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you’ve got to have a ‘What the hell?’ attitude.

You must always be prepared to place a bet on yourself, on your future, by heading in a direction that others seem to fear.

Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better? Carol S. Dweck

Don’t wait for things to be perfect before you share them with others. Show early and show often. It’ll be pretty when we get there, but it won’t be pretty along the way.

When it comes to creative endeavors, the concept of zero failures is worse than useless. It’s counterproductive.
