Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.

If all else fails, destroy all evidence that you tried.

I have no failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

For every winner there are dozens of losers. Odds are, you're one of them.

Failure is not the only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.

You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.

It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or when the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

LIFE SAYS, "MAKE GOOD OR MAKE ROOM, BUT DON’T MAKE EXCUSES."

In today’s management parlance, "Lead , follow, or get out of the way." When you are actively working toward a goal, there are no failures; there are only degrees of success. Choose to be a leader. Take the initiative. When you are faced with a problem or a difficult decision, don’t waste endless hours agonizing over the solution. If you analyze the situation objectively, you will always find an answer. Don’t focus on the problem; focus on the solution. Then get into action. As W. Clement Stone has often said, "The emotions are not always subject to reason, but they are always subject to action!"

Failure at some point in everyone's life is inevitable, but giving up is unforgivable. ... When I got knocked down by guys bigger than me, (my mom) sent me back out and demanded that I bloody their nose so I could walk down that street the next day.
