Failure

The wisdom in what doesn't work

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful, than a life spent doing nothing.

Failure is feedback; shame is the real enemy

Failure is irrelevant unless it is catastrophic.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn. Fail fast and bounce back quickly.

A failure is a man who has blundered but is not capable of cashing in on the experience. Failure is only failure if you don't learn from it. Accept it as part of the process. Repeated failure will toughen your spirit and show you with absolute clarity how things must be done.

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. When you don't know something you will pay for it - that's the stupidity tax. We should fear missing opportunity more than we should fear failure.

Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

Calling it an experiment gives you permission to fail.

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.

You're going to make mistakes in life. It's what you do after the mistakes that counts.

Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

I'm not afraid of failure, I'm afraid of being in the exact same place next year.

The next shot is more important than last mistake.

Don't punish yourself for failing. Failing is learning.

You are more than your mistakes. Past mistakes are meant to guide you, not to define you.

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.

There is no failure except in no longer trying.

Failure is not the opposite of success; it's part of success.

The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.

What feels like the end is often the beginning.

Failure is not falling down but refusing to get up.

The greatest failure is to never have tried at all.

Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent advantage.

Failure is the foundation of success, and the means by which it is achieved.

Mistakes are the portals of discovery.
