There is no loneliness greater than the loneliness of a failure. The failure is a stranger in his own house.

Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.

You can't be afraid of failure and you can't be afraid of success, because either one gets in the way of your work.

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.

You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.

If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.

Failure is nature's plan to prepare you for great responsibilities.

Failure doesn't kill you... it increases your desire to make something happen.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

Even when you have doubts, take that step. Take chances. Mistakes are never a failure - they can be turned into wisdom.
