The only failure is not to try.
The greatest leverage you can create for yourself is the pain that comes from inside, not outside. Knowing that you have failed to live up to your own standards for your life is the ultimate pain.
That this awareness of my own fallibility will prevent me from making many mistakes doesn’t alter the fact that I’m bound to make a great many mistakes anyway. But if we fall, we get up again![Dat de bewustheid van mijn eigen feilbaarheid mij voor veel fouten bewaren zal neemt niet weg dat ik toch zeker nog erg veel fouten begaan zal. Maar als we vallen staan we weer op!]
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits.
One must be a god to be able to tell successes from failures without making a mistake.[Надо быть богом, чтобы уметь отличать удачников от неудачников и не ошибаться…]
My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.
Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
If you know you are going to fail, then fail gloriously!
If we don’t see a failure as a challenge to modify our approach, but rather as a problem with ourselves, as a personality defect, we will immediately feel overwhelmed.
I’ve never been afraid to fail.
