Success Failure Quotes (page 11)

If success or failure of this planet and of human beings depended on how I am and what I do... HOW WOULD I BE? WHAT WOULD I DO? R. Buckminster Fuller
The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomiants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second. (Cannery Row) John Steinbeck
In the common world of fact the wicked were not punished, nor the good rewarded. Success was given to the strong, failure thrust upon the weak. That was all. Oscar Wilde
People consider me a success because I'm a good football player and make lots of money. But if my heart's not right, if I'm not living a life pleasing to God, I'm a failure. Reggie White
The moral I draw is that the writer should seek his reward in the pleasure of his work and in release from the burden of thought; and, indifferent to aught else, care nothing for praise or censure, failure or success. W. Somerset Maugham
I can’t give you a surefire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure; try to please everybody all the time. Herbert Bayard Swope
Man's rise or fall, success or failure, happiness or unhappiness depends on his attitude ... a man's attitude will create the situation he imagines. James Lane Allen
People didn't realize it, but they needed myths to survive, just as much now as when their forebears were alive. Perhaps more. Mythology embodied the world's dreams, helped to make sense of the great human problems. Just as the dreams of individuals exist to give subconscious support to their conscious lives, so do myths serve as society's dreams. They uncover the dark, hidden places where mysteries dwell and can turn to nightmare if left untended. They make sense of injustice in archetypal... Charles de Lint
His air of failure had nothing desperate about it; rather, it seemed to stem from an unresented realisation that he was not cut out for success, and his duty was therefore to ensure only that he failed in the correct and acceptable fashion. Julian Barnes
The library is full of stories of supposed triumphs which makes me very suspicious of it. It's misleading for people to read about great successes, since even for middle-class and upper-class white people, in my experience, failure is the norm Kurt Vonnegut
Rick Warren quote: "I don't know the keys to success, but one key to failure is to..."
I don't know the keys to success, but one key to failure is to try to please everyone. Rick Warren
Herman Cain quote: "the possibility of success was motivating me more than the..."
...the possibility of success was motivating me more than the fear of failure. Herman Cain
(The psuedoscience of planning seems almost neurotic in its determination to imitate empiric failure and ignore empiric success.) Jane Jacobs
If you look at history, even recent history, you see that there is indeed progress. . . . Over time, the cycle is clearly, generally upwards. And it doesn't happen by laws of nature. And it doesn't happen by social laws. . . . It happens as a result of hard work by dedicated people who are willing to look at problems honestly, to look at them without illusions, and to go to work chipping away at them, with no guarantee of success? in fact, with a need for a rather high tolerance for failure... Noam Chomsky
Ellen DeGeneres quote: "It's failure that gives you the proper perspective on success."
It's failure that gives you the proper perspective on success. Ellen DeGeneres
