Failure is what your mind acknowledges.

“Words have a tremendous impact on all our lives. I know people who have lived lives of crippling insecurity because their parents spoke words of judgment, criticism, and failure to them on a regular basis.” 

“The best thing you can do about yesterday is to forget it. Whether you succeeded or failed, it’s over. It’s time to look ahead.” 

“One great reason for hope is this: you are not a failure just because you have failed at certain things.” 

“Those who never take risks can only see other people’s failures.”

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure

I think you can have 10,000 explanations for failure, but no good explanation for success.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.

Success in life is the result of good judgment. Good judgment is usually the result of experience. Experience is usually the result of bad judgment.

I’ve come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy

Ours is a culture where we wear our ability to get by on very little sleep as a kind of badge of honor that symbolizes work ethic, or toughness, or some other virtue—but really, it’s a total profound failure of priorities and of self-respect.

“Finite to fail, but infinite to venture.” 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Failure changes for the better, success for the worse.

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.

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

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