Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything.
If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.
I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.
Don’t worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.
A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.
The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit the bottom.
Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
That which does not kill me, makes me stronger.
The only guarantee for failure is to stop trying.
To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.
