What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?

In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time.

When you fail at something, the best thing to do is think back to your successes, and try to replicate whatever you did to make them happen.

Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail.

I had to succeed. Failure means I would have to be homeless again.

To fail is a natural consequence of trying, To succeed takes time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for trying again.

If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success, to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress.

Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.

If you know you are going to fail, then fail gloriously.
