Failure is a great teacher, and I think when you make mistakes and you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences, then you've got something to share.

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.

Mistakes are the best teachers. One does not learn from success. It is desirable to learn vicariously from other people's failures, but it gets much more firmly seared in when they are your own.

If you truly want to succeed, you have to stay humble - humble or crumble - because it can all go away in the blink of an eye.

I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.

Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.

Success, they taught me, is built on the foundation of courage, hard-work and individual responsibility. Despite what some would have us believe, success is not built on resentment and fears.

It is commonly said that a teacher fails if he has not been surpassed by his students. There has been no failure on our part in this regard considering how far they have gone.

The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'

Success is not in what you have, but who you are.
