We are all failures - at least the best of us are.

What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?

If you don’t try at anything, you can’t fail… it takes back bone to lead the life you want

It's failure that gives you the proper perspective on success.

There is no failure except in no longer trying.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

Failure is so important. We speak about success all the time. It is the ability to resist failure or use failure that often leads to greater success. I've met people who don't want to try for fear of failing.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Failure isn't fatal, but failure to change might be.

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

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

When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.

Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.

Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

When we give ourselves permission to fail, we, at the same time, give ourselves permission to excel.

It’s not how far you fall, but how high you bounce that counts.

Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear.

Giving up is the only sure way to fail.

I'd rather be partly great than entirely useless.

No human ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail and recover and improve, the better you are as a person. Ever meet someone who’s always had everything work out for them with zero struggle? They usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they don’t exist....

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

With a hint of good judgment, to fear nothing, not failure or suffering or even death, indicates that you value life the most. You live to the extreme; you push limits; you spend your time building legacies. Those do not die.

If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original.

The phoenix must burn to emerge.
