All the logic in the world could not blunt the pain. Logic could not blunt her terrible sense of personal failure. Only time would do those things, and time would do an imperfect job. Stephen King
People aren't supposed to look back. I'm certainly not going to do it anymore. I've finished my war book now. The next one I write is going to be fun. This one is a failure, and had to be, since it was written by a pillar of salt. It begins like this: 'Listen: Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.' It ends like this: 'Poo-tee-weet? Kurt Vonnegut

When you get rid of your fear of failure, your tensions about succeeding... you can be yourself. Relaxed. You'll no longer be driving with your brakes on. Anthony de Mello
History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale gleams the passion of former days. What is the worth of all this? The only guide to a man is his conscience; the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent to walk through life without this shield, because we are so often mocked by the failure of our hopes and the upsetting of our calculations;... Winston Churchill
George Washington quote: "99% of failures come from people who make excuses."

Make failure your teacher, not your undertaker. Zig Ziglar
Children have a lesson adults should learn, to not be ashamed of failing, but to get up and try again. Most of us adults are so afraid, so cautious, so 'safe,' and therefore so shrinking and rigid and afraid that it is why so many humans fail. Most middle-aged adults have resigned themselves to failure. Malcolm X
Jerry Seinfeld quote: "If a book about failures doesn't sell, is it a success?"
If a book about failures doesn't sell, is it a success? Jerry Seinfeld
John Steinbeck quote: "All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal."
All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal. John Steinbeck
Socialism is a philosphy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill
Vincent Van Gogh quote: "Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures."
Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures. Vincent Van Gogh
When Mary Shelley took a local legend based on truth and crafted fiction from it, she'd made Victor a tragic figure and killed him off. He understood her dramatic purpose for giving him a death scene, but he loathed her for portraying him as tragic and a failure. Her judgement of his work was arrogant. What else of consequence did she ever write? And of the two, who was dead - and who was not? Dean Koontz
Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it. I don't know all the keys to success, but one key to failure is to try to please everyone. Rick Warren
