Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy.

Winston Churchill

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Og Mandino

1

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

Johnny Cash

A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life.

Christopher Morley

We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.

Henry Rollins

Honesty is the fastest way to prevent a mistake from turning into a failure.

James Altucher

Failure is the key to success; each mistake teaches us something.

Morihei Ueshiba

I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.

George Burns

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

Steve Jobs

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.

Michael Jordan

Without failure there is no achievement.

John C. Maxwell

Failure is central to engineering. Every single calculation that an engineer makes is a failure calculation. Successful engineering is all about understanding how things break or fail.

Since the global financial crisis and recession of 2007-2009, criticism of the economics profession has intensified. The failure of all but a few professional economists to forecast the episode — the aftereffects of which still linger — has led many to question whether the economics profession contributes anything significant to society.

Robert J. Shiller

Lead yourself whenever your boss' leadership deteriorates. When your boss doesn't praise what you do, praise yourself. When your boss doesn't make you big, make yourself big. Remember, if you have done your best, failure does not count.

Mario Teguh

Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.

John Wooden

1

Honesty is about the scars. It's about the blemishes. But it's more than just bragging about failure, which could be a form of ego. It's about truly helping people.

James Altucher

Many of the familiar little things that we use every day have typically evolved over a period of time to a state of familiarity. They balance form and function, elegance and economy, success and failure in ways that are not only acceptable, but also admirable.

Henry Petroski

1

At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren't where you want to be, you will always be a failure.

Erin Cummings

1

The failure of academic feminists to recognize difference as a crucial strength is a failure to reach beyond the first patriarchal lesson. In our world, divide and conquer must become define and empower.

Audre Lorde

1

The person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy, inevitable part of the process of getting to the top.
