To stumble twice against the same stone is a proverbial disgrace.

Do not be afraid of mistakes, providing you do not make the same one twice.

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

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

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

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

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.

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

Dream is not that you see in the sleep; dream is that does not allow you to sleep.

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

Failure cannot cope with persistence.

Nature never excuses lapses.

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

The worst prison would be a closed heart.

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.

Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds.

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

The errors of great men are venerable because they are more fruitful than the truths of little men.

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