failure

One sure path to failure is the readiness to blame everyone else for your misfortune.

Only victory should tell you that you have failed long enough.

I knew I was putting you under immense pressure when I rejected your work the other day. I set an impossible deadline - yet you have met it with work that I can only call outstanding. As your teacher, I had to push you to your limits so that you could recognize your own true potential.

Never remember your failures but remember why you failed.

Dispassionately, reasonably, he contemplated the failutre that his life must appear to be. He had wanted friendship and the closeness of friendship that might hold him in the race of mankind; he had had two friends, one of whom had died senselessly before he was known, the other of whom had now withdrawn so distantly into the ranks of the living that... He had wanted the singleness and the still connective passion of marriage; he had had that, too, and he had not known what to do with it, and it had died. He had wanted love; and he had had love, and had relinquished it, had let it go into the chaos of potentiality. Katherine, he thought. "Katherine." And he had wanted to be a teacher, and he had become one; yet he knew, he had always known, that for most of his life he had been an indifferent one. He had dreamed of a kind of integrity, of a kind of purity that was entire; he had found compromise and the assaulting diversion of triviality. He had conceived wisdom, and at the end of the long years he had found ignorance. And what else? he thought. What else? What did you expect? he asked himself.

Being an entrepreneur cannot be defined by your successes until it has been built by your failures.

Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way. I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had suspected; I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above the price of rubies.

Failures are stepping stone of success, but it becomes stepping stone when we accept it with whole heart...

I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.

People fail 2 ways: 1) don't know what to do 2) don't do what they know; therefore, great leaders must educate and inspire.

We have all encountered some failures in our life, but some people became failures because they perceived theirs to be permanent.

Some people are just quitters, man they just give up, and the rest of us are dreamers without any luck.

His thoughts flicked between the confidence of the Anyala Stone, the expectations of his world, and, the certainty of his failure.

Pain is temporary- The pain you feel today is only to get strength to face tomorrow.

Courage creates and makes more wounds, but its good for the brave and not the strong ones without wisdom.

Either you have dreams big enough to overcome your fears or you have fears big enough to overcome your dreams.

A social critic is someone whose work revolves around where and how our successes are failing us.

One failure teaches you ten ways to success.
