In order to succeed your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
Bill CosbyFailure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
Og MandinoSuccess is not final failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Winston ChurchillBy failing to prepare you are preparing to fail.
Benjamin FranklinI have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot...and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed.
Michael JordanOur greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.
ConfuciusThe only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
BuddhaYou never fail until you stop trying
Albert Einstein'Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall.
William ShakespeareTo establish true self-esteem we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.
Denis WaitleyNo protracted war can fail to endanger the freedom of a democratic country.
Alexis de TocquevilleForget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.
Denis WaitleyRemembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations all pride all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death leaving only what is truly important.
Steve JobsWar remains the decisive human failure.
John Kenneth GalbraithCourage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.
Winston ChurchillA prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails and then asks you not to kill him.
Winston ChurchillWhat does it say about a president's policies when he has to use a cartoon character rather than real people to justify his record? What does it say about the fiction of old liberalism to insist that good jobs and good schools and good wages will result from policies that have failed us time and again?
Mitt RomneyYou can't live your life blaming your failures on your parents and what they did or didn't do for you. You're dealt the cards that you're dealt. I realised it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself.
Drew BarrymoreLife is a process of becoming a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
Anais NinSuccess is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.
Winston ChurchillIn war as in life it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed to take up the best alternative open and if so it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
Winston ChurchillNo matter how vast how total the failure of man here on earth the work of man will be resumed elsewhere. War leaders talk of resuming operations on this front and that but man's front embraces the whole universe.
Henry MillerGetting fired can produce a particularly bountiful payday for a CEO. Indeed he can 'earn' more in that single day while cleaning out his desk than an American worker earns in a lifetime of cleaning toilets. Forget the old maxim about nothing succeeding like success: Today in the executive suite the all-too-prevalent rule is that nothing succeeds like failure.
Warren BuffettIn war when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine guidance he no longer deserves victory.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaAll that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts
James AllenI have a great respect for incremental improvement and I've done that sort of thing in my life but I've always been attracted to the more revolutionary changes. I don't know why. Because they're harder. They're much more stressful emotionally. And you usually go through a period where everybody tells you that you've completely failed.
Steve JobsA man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal or it may be a worldly object according to his nature at the time being, but whichever it is he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty and should devote himself to its attainment not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies longings and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome) the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph.
James Allen
