Listen to the lesson failure offers.

Now what should happen when you make a mistake is this: You take your knocks, you learn your lessons and then you move on. That’s the healthiest way to deal with a problem.

There are a thousand excuses for failure but never a good reason.

A setback only paves the way for a comeback.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible:the fear of failure.

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.

It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.

The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak.

When there is silence one finds the anchor of the universe within oneself.

I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.

Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.

Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.

Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own.

How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?

When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.

If someone succeeds in provoking you, realize that your mind is complicit in the provocation.

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self.

If you cannot be honest with yourself, there is no hope of being honest with anyone else.

You don't need another person, place or thing to make you whole. God already did that. Your job is to know it.
