It's not hard to fail...it's hard to accept you failed...but once that's out of the way, it's pretty smooth sailing

People fail 2 ways: 1) don't know what to do 2) don't do what they know; therefore, great leaders must educate and inspire.

We don't have time for such uncertainty because it reliably breeds indecision, and indecision is one of the mothers of failure.

This is kind of hard to understand, but sometimes you can try so hard at something.Sometimes you can be so prepared, and still fail.

We can become fearless as we let go off our grasp on the fear of failure, because failure too is a perception rather than a reality.

But, ah me! where is the faultless human creature who can persevere in a good resolution, without sometimes failing and falling back?

Once you discover that failure is survivable, your fear of it subsides. Failure is not opposite to success, just part of its process.

Failure is authentic, and because it's authentic, it's real and genuine, and because of that, it's a pure state of being.

But instead of spending our lives running towards our dreams, we are often running away from a fear of failure or a fear of criticism.

Courage is the difference between success and failure. You must have this attitude, this is the right thing to do, so let's do it.

It is how humans are wired to remember. They either take more credit for success or more responsibility for failure than is their due.

It is not how many times we get lost, but how many times we seek the path, again and again, that determines our level of consciousness.

Mistakes are great teachers. They are stern, confident and fierce inredirecting you from what you should not do; to what you should do.

It is questionable, for that matter, whether success is an adequate response to life. Success can eliminate as many options as failure.

In times of war or peace the US will gladly pay a man to fail should his heart be in it, a small shimmering proof of the American dream.
