The best way out is always through.
-
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.
-
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close
they were to success when they gave up.
-
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
-
But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one
can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in
the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever
knowing what you're fighting for.
-
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have
to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a
state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
-
The deepest human defeat suffered by human beings is constituted
by the difference between what one was capable of becoming and
what one has in fact become.
-
Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore,
each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession
of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.
-
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than
to be always right by having no ideas at all.
-
My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no
man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle
before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility;
win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.
-
A failure is a man who has blundered but is not capable of cashing in
on the experience.
-
The torment of human frustration, whatever its immediate cause, is the
knowledge that the self is in prison, its vital force and "mangled
mind" leaking away in lonely, wasteful self-conflict.
-
It is on our failures that we base a new and different and better
success.
-
Remember, no man is a failure who has friends.
-
If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you
do well matters very much.
-
Mishaps are like knives, that either serve us or cut us, as we grasp
them by the blade or the handle.
-
It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes; it takes more grit
and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own.
