I think that the failures of Enron and WorldCom and other companies are partially failures of investors to recognize companies that are selling for a thousand times nothing, but chances are they may be worth only that.
Arthur Levitt

I'd rather have huge success and huge failures than travel in the middle of the road.
Kevyn Aucoin

If anything characterizes the cultural life of the seventies in America, it is an insistence on preventing failures of communication.
Richard Rosen

If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success, to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress.
Calvin Coolidge

If I have any justification for having lived it's simply, I'm nothing but faults, failures and so on, but I have tried to make a good pair of shoes. There's some value in that.
Arthur Miller

If you call failures experiments, you can put them in your resume and claim them as achievements.
Mason Cooley

If you don't fix latent failures in your system, you're asking for trouble.
John Gould

In a previous life I wrote the software that controlled my physics experiments. That software had to deal with all kinds of possible failures in equipment. That is probably where I learned to rely on multiple safety nets inside and around my systems.
Wietse Venema

In a total work, the failures have their not unimportant place.
May Sarton

In general, the Internet was not designed to accommodate deliberate failures to communicate.
Daniel J. Bernstein

In retrospect there were failures enough to go around. There were failures before the storm and failures after the storm.
Jeff Sessions

It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice, and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done.
Samuel Smiles

It is better to be young in your failures than old in your successes.
Flannery O'Connor

It is on our failures that we base a new and different and better success.
Havelock Ellis

It takes 10 million failures to find the right stuff.
George Lindsey

It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful.
Sylvester Stallone

Kindness and intelligence don't always deliver us from the pitfalls and traps: there are always failures of love, of will, of imagination. There is no way to take the danger out of human relationships.
Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

Life is the only art that we are required to practice without preparation, and without being allowed the preliminary trials, the failures and botches, that are essential for training.
Lewis Mumford

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
Thomas A. Edison

My failures have been errors in judgment, not of intent.
Ulysses S. Grant
