You can't go into new life experiences without the understanding that yeah, you may fail, but knowing you might fail can't stop you from trying.

We will all fail in life, but nobody has to be a failure. Failing at a thing doesn't make you a failure. You are only a failure when you quit trying.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

I believe you can never fail in life or love. You just produce results. It's up to you how you interpret those results.

When people call something a 'fail,' it's because you tried to accomplish something but didn't make it. If you're just walking down the street and something bad just happens to you, that's not really a fail on your part. You might call that situation a fail.

They fail, and they alone, who have not striven.

There are people who can't bear to fail. Those people are on the short track as far as their careers go. You have to push hard, do hard things. But you also have to be able to say, 'OK, today's not the day.'

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.

The success or failure of a life, as far as posterity goes, seems to lie in the more or less luck of seizing the right moment of escape.

Having failures in life is important to understand where, exactly, you stand.
