Success is always less funny than failure.

In Britain by contrast we still think that class plays a part in determining a person's life chances so we're less inclined to celebrate success and less inclined to condemn failure. The upshot is that it's much easier to be a failure in Britain than it is in America.

America thinks of itself as a meritocracy so people have more respect for success and more contempt for failure.

You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes make all you can. Because remember that's where you'll find success - on the far side of failure.

I wish I had been more prepared both for success and for failure when I was younger.

Failure is what we're all running from we're always running toward success with failure at our back.

We go there with confidence but we know there is a very fine line between success and failure in this game.

There's no such thing as failure - just waiting for success.

I don't know many people if any who have had some straight line toward success. I mean they start here they work hard they've got what it takes and they just go straight to the top over some number of years. Most people get a little failure.

Nothing succeeds they say like success. And certainly nothing fails like failure.
