Failure too is a form of death.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations all pride all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death leaving only what is truly important.

Any man who has $10 000 left when he dies is a failure.

My father was not a failure. After all he was the father of a president of the United States.

I find fault with my children because I like them and I want them to go places - uprightness and strength and courage and civil respect and anything that affects the probabilities of failure on the part of those that are closest to me that concerns me - I find fault.

Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas to take a calculated risk - and to act.

Failure is only postponed success as long as courage 'coaches' ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.

There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage his character his self respect or his self-confidence. He is still a King.

Success is not final failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
