When you fail to prepare, you’re preparing to fail.

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

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows. 

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

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others.

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.

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

You have to be able to accept failure to get better.

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.

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

Sport and life is about losing. It’s about understanding how to lose.

Don’t think of it as failure. Think of it as time-released success.

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

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.

Negative results are just what I want. They’re just as valuable to me as positive results. I can never find the thing that does the job best until I find the ones that don’t.

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

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.
