Mistakes fail in their mission of helping the person who blames them on the other fellow.
Henry S. Haskins
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
Robert F. Kennedy
Organization doesn't really accomplish anything. Plans don't accomplish anything, either. Theories of management don't much matter. Endeavors succeed or fail because of the people involved. Only by attracting the best people will you accomplish great deeds.
Colin Powell
The character of greatness must be measured in two ways, else the measurement is flawed. First, and by far most popular of all, is by one's ability to succeed in times of trial where others may fail. But of no less importance, and perhaps foundational to any form of greatness, is one's willingness to start over in spite of failure, when success seems farthest away.
Guy Finley
Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.
Lloyd Jones
In the lexicon of youth, which fate reserves For a bright manhood, there is no such word As - fail
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.
Sophocles
Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail.
Charles F. Kettering
Try as hard as we may for perfection, the net result of our labors is an amazing variety of imperfectness. We are surprised at our own versatility in being able to fail in so many different ways.
Samuel McChord Crothers
Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I steer my bark with hope in the head, leaving fear astern. My hopes indeed sometimes fail, but not oftener than the forebodings of the gloomy.
Thomas Jefferson
A lot of successful people are risk-takers. Unless you're willing to do thatÖ to have a go, fail miserably, and have another go, success won't happen.
Phillip Adams 1939
Failing to plan means planning to fail. What are your goals?
Unknown
You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, and you don't branch out, you don't try-you don't take the risk.
