Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.
Norman Vincent Peale

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt

Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.
Confucius

It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.

Like success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again.
W. Clement Stone

People in their handlings of affairs often fail when they are about to succeed. If one remains as careful at the end as he was at the beginning, there will be no failure.

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet.
Robert H. Schuller

If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless.
Robert H. Schuller

Oscar Wilde

Why should anybody be interested in some old man who was a failure?

Abraham Maslow

Success isn't permanent and failure isn't fatal.
Mike Ditka

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.

Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.
Jim Rohn

Henry Ford
