“Remember
the two benefits of failure. First. If you do fail, you learn what doesn’t
work; and second, the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach.”
Roger von Oech
“I
don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying
to please everybody.”
Bill Cosby
“Show
me a thoroughly satisfied man, and I will show you a failure.”
Thomas A. Edison
“Failing
doesn’t make you a failure. Giving up, accepting your failure, refusing
to try again does!”
Richard Exely
“If
at first you don’t succeed, you’re running about average.”
M.H. Alderson
“I
would sooner fail than not be among the greatest.”
John Keats
“Only
those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.”
John F. Kennedy
“An
inventor fails 999 times, and if he succeeds once, he’s in. He treats
his failures simply as practice shots.”
Charles Kettering
“My
great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content
with your failure.”
Abraham Lincoln
“Act
as if it were impossible to fail.”
Dorothea Broude
“Being
defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.”
Marilyn vos Savant
“Many
people dream of success. To me success can only be achieved through repeated
failure and introspection. In fact, success represents 1% of your work
which results from the 99% that is called failure.”
Soichiro Honda
“Congealed
thinking is the forerunner of failure… make sure you are always
receptive to new ideas.”
George Crane
