Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently. 

If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate. 

You can be discouraged by failure, or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes, make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success - on the far side of failure. 

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. 

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.  

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.

Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles.

All wars signify the failure of conflict resolution mechanisms, and they need post-war rebuilding of faith, trust and confidence.

I firmly believe that unless one has tasted the bitter pill of failure, one cannot aspire enough for success. 

When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realise that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives.

If you set your goals ridiculously high and it's a failure, you will fail above everyone else's success.

The Bush Administration's failure to be consistently involved in helping Israel achieve peace with the Palestinians has been both wrong for our friendship with Israel, as well as badly damaging to our standing in the Arab world.

In America, there is a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
