Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements, and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.
Apparent failure may hold in its rough shell the germs of a success that will blossom in time, and bear fruit throughout eternity.
The tragedy of life is not that man loses but that he almost wins.
We are all failures--at least, all the best of us are.
Not failure, but low aim, is crime.
If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.
We have forty million reasons for failure, but not a single excuse.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
