Failure

"In the lexicon of youth, which Fate reserves for a bright manhood, there is no such word As—fail!"

"It is better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation. He who has never failed somewhere, that man cannot be great. Failure is the true test of greatness. And if it be said, that continual success is a proof that a man wisely knows his powers, — it is only to be added, that, in that case, he knows them to be small."

"Its a failure only if you dont get anything out of it, Thomas Edison said he knew 999 ways that a light bulb did not work; yet we have lights today."

"He that is down needs fear no fall He that is low, no pride."

"There is the greatest practical benefit in making a few failures early in life."

"Half the failures in life arise from pulling in ones horse as he is leaping."

"For he that believeth, bearing in hand, Plougheth in the water, and soweth in the sand."

"There is an element of failure in all success."

"Value of age is it gives you visceral understanding that the journey never ends, the ultimate answer is never “No”, and new opportunities are endlessly creating themselves. Grief and loss at times are simply part of the process. What’s important is who we choose to be as we go through the grief. If we can allow ourselves to feel the pain but avoid bitterness, learning whatever lessons are inherent in the loss, then we’re stronger and the opportunities are greater on the other side of the hurt we feel now"

"I would sooner fail than not be among the greatest."

"I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I cant accept not trying (no hard work)."

"Heres to the men who lose! What though their work be eer so nobly plannd And watched with zealous care; No glorious halo crowns their efforts grand— Contempt is Failures share!"
