I've failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed.
Michael Jordan
I don’t know the secret to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone.

He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure.
James Allen

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
99% of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.
George Washington Carver
Failure is only postponed success as long as courage "coaches" ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.
Herbert Kaufman
No man ever achieved worthwhile success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.
Napoleon Hill
Blaming destiny is a poor out for those who don't reach desired destinations.
Malcom Forbes
Nobody succeeds in a big way except by risking failure.
William Feather
Success comes to those who become success conscious. Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.
Napoleon Hill
The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it - so fine that we often are on the line and do not know it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To be ambitious for wealth, and yet always expecting to be poor; to be always doubting your ability to get what you long for, is like trying to reach east by traveling west. There is no philosphy which will help man to succeed when he is always doubting his ability to do so, and thus attracting failure. No matter how hard you work for success, if your thought is saturated with the fear of failure, it will kill your efforts, neutralize your endeavors and make success impossible.
Charles Baudouin
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
Thomas Alva Edison
Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.
Henry Ford
Having harvested all the knowledge and wisdom we can from our mistakes and failures, we should put them behind us and go ahead, for vain regretting interferes with the flow of power into our own personalities.
Edith Johnson
I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
Michael Jordan

A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
John Burroughs
Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
Sir Winston Churchill
Obviously there have been times when I've failed. But there have never been times when I thought I would fail.
Michael Jordan
A man may make mistakes, but he isn't a failure until he starts blaming someone else.
John Wooden
You're not always going to be successful, but if you're afraid to fail, you don't deserve to be successful.
Charles Barkley
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, learning from failure.
Colin Powell
Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.
Jim Rohn
Everything has a price, including both success and failure. Choose either one and be prepared to pay the price.
Larry Winget

The person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy, inevitable part of the process of getting to the top.
Joyce Brothers
You should look upon failure and temporary defeat as part of the price that you pay on your road to the success that you will inevitably achieve.
Brian Tracy
There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.
Elbert Hubbard
The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.
John Maxwell
In life, the question is not if you will have problems, but how you are going to deal with your problems. Are you going to fail forward or backward?
John Maxwell
People who fail forward are able to see errors or negative experiences as a regular part of life, learn from them, and then move on.
John Maxwell
Failure isn't so bad if it doesn't attack the heart. Success is all right if it doesn't go to the head.
Grantland Rice
When achievers fail, they see it as a momentary event, not a lifelong epidemic. It's not personal. If you want to succeed, don't let any single incident color your view of yourself.
John Maxwell
Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It's okay to fail. If you're not failing, you're not growing.
H. Stanley Judd
To achieve your dreams, you must embrace adversity and make failure a regular part of your life. If you're not failing, you're probably not really moving forward.
John Maxwell
If you are succeeding in everything you do, then you're probably not pushing yourself hard enough.
John Maxwell
The most important thing in life is not to capitalize on our gains. Any fool can do that. The really important thing is to profit from your losses. That requires intelligence; and it makes the difference between a man of sense and a fool.
William Bolitho
If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to draw dividends from defeat.
William Marston
There is no failure except no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.
Ken Hubbard
One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.
Napoleon Hill
Fear of failure is a ticket to mediocrity. If you’re not failing from time to time, you’re not pushing yourself. And if you’re not pushing yourself, you’re coasting.
Eric Zorn
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, you don't branch out, you don't try – you don't take the risk.
Rosalynn Carter
When you punish your people for making a mistake or falling short of a goal, you create an environment of extreme caution, even fearfulness. In sports it's similar to playing "not to lose" - a formula that often brings on defeat.
John Wooden
The difference between success and failure is the difference between thought and action.
Praveen Sherman
Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can't accept your imperfections, that's their fault.
David Burns
The main reason people fail is not because of lack of ability or opportunities. They fail because they lack the inner strength to persist in the face of obstacles and difficulties. That's why trying something almost always leads to failure. By definition, trying something means you will quit if you are not successful.
Ruben Gonzalez
The biggest enemies we have to overcome on the road to success are not a lack of ability and a lack of opportunity but fears of failure and rejection and the doubts that they trigger.
Brian Tracy
Failure is nature's plan to prepare you for great responsibilities.
Napoleon Hill
Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure.
Thomas Watson Jr.
Three failures denote uncommon strength. A weakling has not enough grit to fail thrice.
