You'll never convince me there is a hopeless situation or there is any finality in any success or any failure.
~ Carlos Ghosn
Bare hands grip success better than kid gloves. Be thorough in all things, no matter how small or distasteful! The man who counts his hours and kicks about his salary is a self-elected failure.
~ Charles M. Schwab
Failure's a marker of success in its own right because you went out and tried something... If you really don't want to fail, go find a comfortable chair and stay there. Just don't go out and do anything.
~ Whitney Wolfe
When you come off 'The X Factor,' you're more likely to be a failure than a success because people almost want you to fail. There's this kind of feeling that you're separate from everyone else. You get it from artists, people in the industry, people at record labels.
~ Olly Murs
Every time you go out there to do something, you wonder if you can do it. There's no assured success. There's no secret recipe for success. Every time you go out there, you go out there with the possibility of great failure.
~ Mel Gibson
I have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night, before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success.

Success is boring... failure is exciting and more entertaining.
~ Anupam Kher

But while success and failure depend on conditions, the mind neither waxes nor wanes.
~ Bodhidharma
I can't say I'm not grateful to have journalists writing about me as a genius. But I know it's not true. I'm not confused. I understand that success comes through a lot of failure and a lot of very embarrassing failure. People want to create the next Facebook, but they are too afraid to create the next Facemash.
~ Eric Ries
I've had great success and I've had catastrophic failure. It's really how you handle the rough stuff that defines you, I think.
~ Peter Berg
Mohammed was not an apparent failure. He was a dazzling success, politically as well as spiritually, and Islam went from strength to strength to strength.

We now live in a world where the only thing to have is success, but failure is marvelous. It's fertiliser, it's like living fertiliser, because you're forced on yourself.
~ Rupert Everett
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
I employ case studies of failure into my courses, emphasizing that they teach us much more than studies of success. It is not that success stories cannot serve as models of good design or as exemplars of creative engineering. They can do that, but they cannot teach us how close to failure they are.
I'm sure not afraid of success and I've learned not to be afraid of failure. The only thing I'm afraid of now is of being someone I don't like much.
~ Anna Quindlen
I never feel any pressure about a film. What is meant to happen will happen. I have seen failure as well as success several times.
~ Akshay Kumar
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
~ Samuel Smiles
Well, the idea is that failure is an inevitable partner on the road to success and, if you're not willing to confront failure, you can never find out how good you are.
~ Peter Guber
Beside every great success are the seeds of enormous failure. In every failure, there's the opportunity seeds of great success. They're not miles apart. So if they're that close together, and if you're really working, you're always gonna have that likelihood that something's not going to work.
We do not realise that we are children of eternity. If we did, then success would be no success, and failure would be no failure to us.
~ Joseph Barber Lightfoot
The man who has done his level best... is a success, even though the world may write him down a failure.
~ B. C. Forbes
Right from my childhood, I have believed in a Supreme Power. I don't know whether it has form, or it is formless. I am a high school dropout. How come life has given me so much? It's not my intelligence, it's not my abilities. This understanding makes me scared even in success. I don't own my success. Neither do I own my failure.
~ Pawan Kalyan
Failure is what we're all running from, we're always running toward success with failure at our back.
~ Natalie Goldberg
Art school had taught me it was far better to be a flamboyant failure than any kind of benign success.
~ Malcolm Mclaren
I think success has no rules, but you can learn a great deal from failure.
~ Jean Kerr

~ Michael Buble
Having in my life been bitten by the jaws of both victory and defeat, I must rush to add that success is to failure as butter pecan ice cream is to death.
~ Rupert Holmes
All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right about face which turns us from failure to success.
~ Dorothea Brande
The success or failure of a life, as far as posterity goes, seems to lie in the more or less luck of seizing the right moment of escape.
~ Alice James
Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputation on the line in support of an idea or enterprise. They willingly assume responsibility for the success or failure of a venture and are answerable for all its facets.
~ Victor Kiam

~ Millicent Fawcett
Divorce is never a pleasant experience. You look upon it as a failure. But I learned to be a different person once we broke up. Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success.
~ Michael Crawford
Spend enough time around success and failure, and you learn a reverence for possibility.
