Results from Classic Quotes:

Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't as all. You can be discouraged by failure - or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember, that's where you will find success.: Thomas J. Watson

Before success in any man's life he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do.: Napoleon Hill
I'm proof against that word failure. I've seen behind it. The only failure a man ought to fear is failure of cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.: George Eliot (1819 - 1880)
You cannot measure a man by his failures. You must know what use he makes of them. What did they mean to him. What did he get out of them.: Orison Swett Marden (1850 - 1924)
Ninety-nine percent of all failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.: George Washington Carver (1864 - 1943)
Haste in every business brings failures.: Herodotus (484 BC - 430 BC), The Histories of Herodotus
Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good. In area after area - crime, education, housing, race relations - the situation has gotten worse after the bright new theories were put into operation. The amazing thing is that this history of failure and disaster has neither discouraged the social engineers nor discredited them.: Thomas Sowell (1930 - ), Is Reality Optional?, 1993
All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal.: John Steinbeck (1902 - 1968), "Once There Was A War" 1943
Of course, our failures are a consequence of many factors, but possibly one of the most important is the fact that society operates on the theory that specialization is the key to success, not realizing that specialization precludes comprehensive thinking.: R. Buckminster Fuller (1895 - 1983), Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, 1963
