If a man has talent and can't use it, he's failed. If he uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he uses the whole of it, he has succeeded, and won a satisfaction and triumph few men ever know.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice, and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done.
Men fail much oftener from want of perseverance than from want of talent.
No man can be a failure if he thinks he's a success; If he thinks he is a winner, then he is.
A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
More men fail through lack of purpose than lack of talent.
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.
A man obsessed with failure has succeeded better than others in portraying it.
His failures are as valuable as his successes: by misjudging one thing he conforms something else, even if at the time he does not know what that something else is.
It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.
Failure is a part of success.
