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.

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

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

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.

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

No matter what one does, regardless of failure or success, the experience is a form of success in itself.

A hundred failures would not matter, when one single success could change the destiny of the world.

If you aren’t making mistakes, you aren’t taking enough risks.

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try.

Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.

Failure either ruins you or turns you into the man you can become.

You make mistakes. Mistakes don’t make you.

You always pass failure on the way to success.

We are all full of weakness and errors; let us mutually pardon each other our follies.

Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out. 

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

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

Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure.

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

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

Don’t worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.

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