The only real failure in life is the failure to try.

You don't drown by falling in the water;
you drown by staying there.
--Edwin Louis Cole--

You always pass failure on your way to success.
--Mickey Rooney--

Failure is divided into two classes ;;
those who thought & never did, and
those who did & never thought.

Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.
-Julie Andrews

In reality, nothing in life comes free.
You work for something you want or need.
We're just not living in some garage sale.
So as much as you succeed, you're destined to fail.

Try and fail, but don't fail to try
-Stephen Kaggwa

Keep these concepts in mind: You've failed many times, although
you don't remember. You fell down the first time you tried to
walk. You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim...
Don't worry about failure. My suggestion to each of you:
Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try...
--Sherman Finesilver

Being defeated is often a temporary condition.
Giving up is what makes it permanent.
--Marilyn vos Savant

You don't always win your battles,
but it's good to know you fought.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

I feel that the most important requirement in success is learning to
overcome failure. You must learn to tolerate it, but never accept it.
-Reggie Jackson

If you are not big enough to lose,
you are not big enough to win.
-- Walter Reuther

Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become
bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build
you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.
-Charles Jones

You must always push the limits. Because if
you never fail, then you will never succeed.

Never let success get to your head,
and never let failure get to your heart.
