Have interesting failures.... If you need to have a personal crisis have it now. Don't wait until midlife, when it will take longer to resolve.... Don't pity yourselves. Lighten up. Seek people with a sense of humor. Avoid humorless people-and do not marry one, for God's sake.
Garrison Keillor
Image
What can any of us do with his talent but try to develop his vision, so that through frequent failures we may learn better what we have missed in the past.
William Carlos Williams
Image
Business schools are failing to teach the students about the risks of market failures. We need to include some material on market failures in the core of curriculum.
Pankaj Ghemawat
Image
It is not by great acts but by small failures that freedom dies. . . . Justice and liberty die quietly, because men first learn to ignore injustice and then no longer recognize it.
Charles Morgan, Jr.
Image
Many people with a wild desire to act prove failures on the stage, their inclinations are greater than their powers. Rarely is it the other way.
Alec-Tweedie

Portrait photography never had any charms for me, so I sought my subjects from the house-tops, and finally from the hill-tops and about the surrounding country the taste strengthening as my successes became greater in proportion to the failures.
William Henry Jackson
Image
Successful people are successful because they form the habits of doing those things that failures don't like to do.
Albert L. Gray
Image
The God of many men is little more than their court of appeal against the damnatory judgment passed on their failures by the opinion of the world.
William James
Image
With engineering, I view this year's failure as next year's opportunity to try it again. Failures are not something to be avoided. You want to have them happen as quickly as you can so you can make progress rapidly.
Gordon Moore
Image
At 30 a man should know himself like the palm of his hand, know the exact number of his defects and qualities, know how far he can go, foretell his failures - be what he is. And, above all, accept these things.
Albert Camus
Image
Perceived self-efficacy also shapes causal thinking. In seeking solutions to difficult problems, those who perceived themselves as highly efficacious are inclined to attribute their failures to insufficient effort, whereas those of comparable skills but lower perceived self-efficacy ascribe their failures to deficient ability
Albert Bandura
Image
Progress is made by trial and failure the failures are generally a hundred times more numerous than the successes yet they are usually left unchronicled.
William Ramsay
Image
The past in retrospect holds manifold disenchantments, failures and even tragedies and yet the worse may be forgotten and the best held fast.
William Robertson Nicoll
Image
You can't make people like you under the best of circumstances, and you certainly can't make them like you while you're actively badgering them on what you perceive to be their failures of conscience.
Carolyn Hax
Image
We prematurely write off people as failures. We are too much in awe of those who succeed and far too dismissive of those who fail.
Malcolm Gladwell
Image
Successful people just don't let failure define them or keep them from doing what they want to do. For example, I'd have people come up to me after my shows, and they'd say they want to do stand-up but are scared they're going to fail. I'd tell them, You are going to fail, and anyone who is success has powered through many, many failures.
Aisha Tyler
Image
The happy people are failures because they are on such good terms with themselves they don't give a damn.
Agatha Christie
Image
A language is a map of our failures
Adrienne Rich
Image
The failures and successes are necessary for learning.
Wynonna Judd
Image
Our teachers were absolute tyrants. They had no sympathy with youth their one object was to stuff our brains and turn us into erudite apes like themselves. If any pupil showed the slightest trace of originality, they persecuted him relentlessly, and the only model pupils whom I have ever got to know have all been failures in after-life.
Adolf Hitler
Image
When your failures surround you, and all the open doors have closed, look up. There’s a door that never closes, a way, when all the other ways have failed you.
Yasmin Mogahed
Image
If you're in the movie or in television, your failures are very public, and so are your successes. You weigh them up against each other, really.
Julian Fellowes
Image
In their efforts to provide a sufficiency of water where there was not one, men have resorted to every expedient from prayer to dynamite. The story of their efforts is, on the whole, one of pathos and tragedy, of a few successes and many failures
Walter Prescott Webb
Image
We can let our past [difficulties and failures] beat us or teach us [to be more knowledgeable, competent and realistic in the future]!
