It's failure, really, that you grow by, although nobody likes to experience it.
If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.
Don't be afraid of missing opportunities. Behind every failure is an opportunity somebody wishes they had missed.
Our best successes often come after our greatest disappointments.
Some of my biggest victories have come directly after some of my biggest failures.
You are fortunate if you have learned the difference between temporary defeat and failure, more fortunate still if you have learned the truth that the very seed of success is dormant in every defeat that you experience.
Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.
Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.
Failure can be an incredibly motivating force.
Success is the best revenge.
Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
Failure and things of this sort - you can take it one of two ways. You can either let that hurt you and really affect the way that you live your life in the future, or you can use that as an opportunity for growth.
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
The failures that we have are sometimes expensive educations.
People love to hear the mistakes you've made.
Many a man has finally succeeded only because he has failed after repeated efforts. If he had never met defeat he would never have known any great victory.
Every great man, every successful man, no matter what the field of endeavor, has known the magic that lies in these words: every adversity has the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit.
But I look at failure as education. In that respect, I am so well-educated.
I wouldn't be where I am today without my mistakes. Particularly my mistakes. Exclusively my mistakes.
I wouldn't take any of my injuries back; I feel like I'm stronger as an athlete because of all those setbacks.
All our heroes, all our great stories are about failure.
Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.
You learn a lot more from stories about getting rejected than stories about becoming happy.
The most important of my discoveries have been suggested to me by my failures.
