Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm
Winston Churchill
My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure
Abraham Lincoln
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.
Colin Powell
I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is precisely why I succeed.
Michael Jordan
The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that failure—for lack of a better word—is good. Failure is right. Failure works. Failure clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Failure, in all of its forms—failure for life, for money, for love, knowledge—has marked the upward surge of mankind.
Gordon Gecko (/greed/failure)
I liked the original Gordon quote more.
