Don’t think of it as failure. Think of it as time-released success.

Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.

Negative results are just what I want. They’re just as valuable to me as positive results. I can never find the thing that does the job best until I find the ones that don’t.

Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

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.

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.

In any case, you must not confuse a single failure with a final defeat.

First principle: never to let one’s self be beaten down by persons or by events.

Failure is an attitude, not an outcome.

You should become a connoisseur of your own mistakes, turning them over in your mind as if they were works of art, which in a way they are.

Don’t worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.

Mistakes are the portals of discovery.

Losers quit when they fail. Winners fail until they succeed.

Anyone who attempts is not a failure. Sarah Dessen

Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.

Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.

Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.

“You are not a failure until you start blaming others for your mistakes.”

“Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.”

Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your best.

“My dear boy, the people who only love once in their lives are really the shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect—simply a confession of failures.”
