Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.

As kids we're not taught how to deal with success we're taught how to deal with failure. If at first you don't succeed try try again. If at first you succeed then what?

Success depends upon previous preparation and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.

A little more persistence a little more effort and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men kindness and generosity openness honesty understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest sharpness greed acquisitiveness meanness egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

Failure is success if we learn from it.

I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

I don't know the key to success but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
