Victory has a hundred fathers, but failure is an orphan.

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

If you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will fail above everyone else’s success.

In a world that’s changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is to not taking risks.

Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way.

Failure is an importance part of your growth… Don’t be afraid to fail.

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Sometimes life’s going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. 

Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure.

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.

Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.

It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.

Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.

“I think that in any group activity – whether it be business, sports, or family – there has to be leadership or it won’t be successful.”

“I don’t believe in praying to win.”

“If there’s anything you could point out where I was a little different, it was the fact that I never mentioned winning.”

“Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”

“Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character.”

“Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.”

I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.

The success of love is in the loving – it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does NOT determine the value of what we have done.
