I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.

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.

The No. 1 reason people fail in life is because they listen to their friends, family, and neighbors.

Far better it is to dare might things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they in the gray twilight that knows nor victory nor defeat.

The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.

A setback only paves the way for a comeback.

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.

Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also.

Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible. The kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.

Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education.

There is nothing so absurd or ridiculous that has not at some time been said by some philosopher.
