Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.

Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds.

The worst prison would be a closed heart.

Failure is simply an opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

Great services are not canceled by one act or by one single error.

As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it.

You will soon break the bow if you keep it always stretched.

Failure is the foundation of success, and the means by which it is achieved.

Failure is an event not a person

At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had no choice.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now

Failure cannot cope with persistence.

A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.

If something's important enough, you should try. Even if you - the probable outcome is failure.

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

The fire that warms us can also consume us; it is not the fault of the fire.

You have committed a double mistake, firstly by not keeping the engagement yesterday and secondly, by coming when you were not expected.

The wise say that our failure is to form habits: for habit is the mark of a stereotyped world.
