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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk, and to act.
A man's life is interesting primarily when he has failed - I well know. For it's a sign that he tried to surpass himself.
No man can be a failure if he thinks he's a success; If he thinks he is a winner, then he is.
The man who has won millions at the cost of his conscience is a failure.
He who risks and fails can be forgiven. He who never risks and never fails is a failure in his whole being.
You cannot measure a man by his failures. You must know what use he makes of them. What did they mean to him. What did he get out of them.
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
He that fails in his endeavors after wealth or power will not long retain either honesty or courage.
