Success Failure Quotes (page 7)

Seth Godin quote: "If failure is not an option, then neither is success."
If failure is not an option, then neither is success. Seth Godin
Terry Prachett quote: "If failure had no penalty success would not be a prize."
If failure had no penalty success would not be a prize. Terry Prachett
Colin Powell quote: "There are no secrets to success. It's the result of..."
There are no secrets to success. It's the result of preparation, hard work, learning from failure. Colin Powell
Two types of choices seem to me to have been crucial in tipping the outcomes [of the various societies' histories] towards success or failure: long-term planning and willingness to reconsider core values. On reflection we can also recognize the crucial role of these same two choices for the outcomes of our individual lives. Jared Diamond
Strength and success - they are above morality, above criticism. It seems, then, that it is not what you do, but how you do it and what you call it. Is there a check in men, deep in them, that stops or punishes? There doesn't seem to be. The only punishment is for failure. In effect no crime is committed unless a criminal is caught. John Steinbeck
Far from rejecting outright any hierarchy of success or failure, philosophy instead reconfigures the judging process, lending legitimacy to theidea that themainstream value system may unfairly consign some people to disgrace and others to respectability. Alain de Botton
Much in life is simply a matter of perspective. It's not inherently good orbad, a success or failure; it's how we choose to look at things that makes the difference. David Niven
If you try to be anyone but yourself, you will fail; if you are not true to your own heart, you will fail. Then again, there's no success like failure Bob Dylan
Every failure is a step to success. Every detection of what is false directs us towards what is true: every trial exhausts some tempting form of error. William Whewell
It always seemed strange to me that the things we admire in men: kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest: sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self interest are the traits of success. John Steinbeck
Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day. Bob Feller
For the first time in his life, he stopped worrying about results, and as a consequence the terms “success” and “failure” had suddenly lost their meaning for him. The true purpose of art was not to create beautiful objects, he discovered. It was a method of understanding, a way of penetrating the world and finding one’s place in it, and whatever aesthetic qualities an individual canvas might have were almost an incidental by-product of the effort to engage oneself in this struggle, to enter... Paul Auster
In your temporary failure there is no evidence that you may not yet be a better scholar, and a more successful man in the great struggle of life, than many others, who have entered college more easily. Abraham Lincoln
Terry Goodkind quote: "Intent is guilt. Failure to successfully carry out the intent..."
Intent is guilt. Failure to successfully carry out the intent does not absolve the guilt. Terry Goodkind
I am simultaneously and contradictorily both happy and unhappy: 'to succeed' or 'to fail' have for me only ephemeral, contingent meanings (this does not stop my desires and sorrows from being violent ones); what impels me, secretly and obstinately, is not tactical: I accept and I affirm, irrespective of the true and the false, of success and failure; I am withdrawn from all finality, I live according to chance... Roland Barthes
