Success and Failure

I haven't failed. I've just found ten thousand ways that don't work.

Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

How should I know what I’ll be, I who don’t know what I am? Be what I think? But I think of being so many things! And there are so many who think of being the same thing that we can’t all be it! Genius? At this moment A hundred thousand brains are dreaming they’re geniuses like me, And it may be that history won’t remember even one, All their imagined conquests amounting to so much dung.

I was never afraid of failure, for I would sooner fail than not be among the best.

I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one’s business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.

There is not a fiercer hell than the failure in a great object.

But I do guess mos peoples gonna lose.

Success doesn't come to you...you go to it.

It is a funny thing about life, if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it: if you utterly decline to make do with what you get, then somehow or other you are very likely to get what you want.

Success is counted sweetest By those who ne’er succeed.

Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.

A minute’s success pays the failure of years.

Winners make it happen. Losers let it happen.

It’s terrible to have a success; everyone wants you to repeat it by writing the same thing over again.

One of the thieves was saved. (Pause) It’s a reasonable percentage.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

There's a victory and defeat. The first and best of victories, the lowest and worst of defeats which each man gains or sustains at the hands not of another, but of himself.

it is better to succeed with success than failure. George W.

 

We mount to heaven mostly on the ruins of our cherished schemes, finding our failures were successes.

I am a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn’t have the heart to let him down...

The worst part of success is trying to find someone who is happy for you.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Every pursuit is great when greatly pursued.

Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed.
