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.

Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.

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

We climb to heaven most often on the ruins of our cherished plans, finding our failures were successes.

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

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

The great question is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with failure.

The most important of my discoveries have been suggested to me by my failures.

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

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