A hatred of failure has always been part of my nature.
Indecision and delays are the parents of failure.
The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.
We climb to heaven most often on the ruins of our cherished plans, finding our failures were successes.
I have probably purchased fifty ‘hot tips’ in my career, maybe even more. When I put them all together, I know I am a net loser.
To establish true self-esteem we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.
A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself. He makes his failure certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it.
The young think that failure is the Siberian end of the line, banishment from all the living, and tend to do what I then did – which was to hide.
There is only one failure in life possible, and that is not to be true to the best one knows.
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.
Don’t be afraid of failure; be afraid of petty success.
At least I have the modesty to admit that lack of modesty is one of my failings.
It is wise to keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final.
It is not a disgrace to fail. Failing is one of the greatest arts in the world.
You gotta lose ‘em some of the time. When you do, lose ’em right.
My reputation grows with every failure.
I fell off my pink cloud with a thud.
All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right about face which turns us from failure to success.
We may be personally defeated, but our principles never!
There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.
The great question is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with failure.
Do not blame anybody for your mistakes and failures.
All the world loves a good loser.
Man is not made for defeat.
A life which does not go into action is a failure.
