Quotations by Subject: Failure (31 quotes)

Results from Poor Man's College:

The failure of the mind in old age is often less the results of natural decay, than of disuse. Ambition has ceased to operate; contentment bring indolence, and indolence decay of mental power, ennui, and sometimes death. Men have been known to die, literally speaking, of disease induced by intellectual vacancy.: Sir B. Brodie
Our repeated failure to fully act as we would wish must not discourage us. It is the sincere intention that is the essential thing, and this will in time release us from the bondage of habits which at present seem almost insuperable.: Thomas Troward
I cannot give the formula for success, but I can give you the formula of failure - which is try to please everybody.: Herbert B. Swope
Not many people are willing to give failure a second opportunity. They fail once and it is all over. The bitter pill of failure is often more than most people can handle. If you are willing to accept failure and learn from it, if you are willing to consider failure as a blessing in disguise and bounce back, you have got the essential of harnessing one of the most powerful success forces.: Joseph Sugarman
Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles.: Jawaharal Nehru
Sometimes a noble failure serves the world as faithfully as a distinguished success.: Edward Dowden
Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.: Norman Vincent Peale (1898 - 1993)
Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end results of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
