failure

If you take risks, you may fail. But if you don't take risks, you will surely fail. The greatest risk of all is to do nothing.

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.

Fame or integrity: which is more important? Money or happiness: which is more valuable? Success or failure: which is more destructive? If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. It is a powerful obstacle to growth. It assures the progressive narrowing of the personality and prevents exploration and experimentation. There is no learning without some difficulty and fumbling. If you want to keep on learning, you must keep on risking failure - all your life.

He who has never failed somewhere, the man can never be great.

A man's life is interesting primarily when he had failed – for it's a sign that he tried to surpass himself.

When I was a young man I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. I didn't want to be a failure, so I did ten times more work.

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

There can be no real freedom without the freedom to fail.

It is not the failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate theirs.
