Age does not bring wisdom... but it does give perspective... and the saddest sight of all is to see, far behind you, temptations you've resisted.
If you aren't making any mistakes, you aren't innovating. If you're making the same mistakes, you aren't learning.
Failure is the key to success; each mistake teaches us something.
No one ever became great except through many and great mistakes.
To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.
It's failure, really, that you grow by, although nobody likes to experience it.
Fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again.
Success isn't permanent and failure isn't fatal.
If failure is not an option, neither is success. Innovation is just repeated failure till you come up with something that works.
Dealing with failure is easy: Work hard to improve. Success is also easy to handle: You've solved the wrong problem. Work hard to improve.
It's OK to be wrong. You learn from your wrongs. You don't learn from being right. If you're right, you already know it. If you're wrong, it's because you don't know about it, and you made a mistake.
Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.
A second chance doesn't mean anything if you haven't learned from your first mistake.
It's said that a wise person learns from his mistakes. A wiser one learns from others' mistakes. But the wisest person of all learns from others's successes.
Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.
I don't believe in make-or-break moments in your life. If you screw something up, it can knock you down, but that only means you'll be better when you get back to where you were before.
Failure is always an option.
From success, you learn absolutely nothing. From failure and setbacks conclusions can be drawn. That goes for your private life as well as your career.
We will all fail in life, but nobody has to be a failure. Failing at a thing doesn't make you a failure. You are only a failure when you quit trying.
When you are having a rough day... you think you are failing. But failure is a part of life. It's about building character and growing.
The day is committed to error and floundering; success and achievement are matters of long range.
It's perfectly okay to fail. It sounds corny, but it truly is about the journey.
Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing.
Failure is just another way to learn how to do something right.
Failure is knowledge, and knowledge is success.
