You make mistakes. Mistakes don’t make you.

It doesn’t matter how many times you have failed, you only have to be right once.

You build on failure. You use it as a steppingstone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space. Johnny Cash

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it. 

Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.

There is no failure unless one stops. Not to work is to cease, tighten up, become nervous and therefore destructive of the creative process.

Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit.

The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.

Embrace failure. Never never quit. Get very comfortable with that uneasy feeling of going against the grain and trying something new.

I think you have to try and fail, because failure gets you closer to what you’re good at. Louis C.K.

Success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable.

It is very important to embrace failure and to do a lot of stuff — as much stuff as possible — with as little fear as possible.

It’s much, much better to wind up with a lot of crap having tried it than to overthink in the beginning and not do it.

Failure changes for the better, success for the worse.

If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

I didn’t fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong.

Even the worst shit that happens to you can be converted into gold if you are clever enough.

An architect’s most useful tools are an eraser at the drafting board, and a wrecking bar at the site.

Ever meet someone who’s always had everything work out for them with zero struggle? They usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they don’t exist.

The only time you don’t fail is the last time you try anything – and it works.

There is nothing in the world so easy to explain as failure — it is, after all, what everybody does all the time.

Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.
