Failure Quotes A-Z by Author |
There is no class so pitiably wretched as
that which possesses money and nothing else.
Andrew
Carnegie - Money

The current perception I get from the evening
news is that the world is dominated by human
failure, crime, catastrophe, corruption,
and tragedy. We are all tuning in to see
how the human mind is evolving, but the
media keeps hammering home the opposite,
that the human mind is mired in darkness
and folly.
Deepak
Chopra - Media

If we are together nothing is impossible.
If we are divided all will fail.
Winston
Churchill - Failure

It doesn’t matter how many times you
fail. It doesn’t matter how many times
you almost get it right. No one is going
to know or care about your failures, and
neither should you. All you have to do is
learn from them and those around you because...
All that matters in business is that you
get it right once. Then everyone can tell
you how lucky you are.
Mark

Everyone agrees that the failure of our
high schools is tragic. It’s bad business,
and it’s bad policy. But we act as
if it can’t be helped. It
can be helped. We designed these high schools;
we can redesign them.
Melinda
Gates - Help

If they don’t fail outright, most businesses
fail to fully achieve their potential. That’s
because the person who owns the business
doesn’t truly know how to build a company
that works without him or her.. which is
the key.
Michael
Gerber - Business

Success breeds complacency. Complacency
breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.

You have to pretend you're 100 percent sure.
You have to take action; you can't hesitate
or hedge your bets. Anything less will condemn
your efforts to failure.
Andrew
Grove - Failure

The collapse of Enron and the subsequent
collapse of Arthur Andersen were tremendous
tragedies. But as I stated at the time of
my indictment on July 8, 2004, failure does
not equate to a crime.

Let it never be said by future generations
that indifference, cynicism or selfishness
made us fail to live up to the ideals of
humanism which the Nobel Peace Prize encapsulates.
Let the strivings of us all, prove Martin
Luther King Jr. to have been correct, when
he said that humanity can no longer be tragically
bound to the starless midnight of racism
and war.

I'm 48. For a while after 'The Jerk' (movie)
I had a feeling of failure. I was a little
scared. First people discover you and they
love you. You get big and then you fail.
And people are glad that you fail. But I've
always come back and I've started to trust
myself.
Steve
Martin - Famous

With engineering, I view this year's failure
as next year's opportunity to try it again.

as you can so you can make progress rapidly.

Intelligent media companies strive to provide
both intellectual and comedy programs, groundbreaking
and reflective articles, art house and popular
movies. Not to be open minded in providing
a full range of quality media would be a
failure to serve the breadth and depth of
the communities we live in.

All across the world, in every kind of environment
and region known to man, increasingly dangerous
weather patterns and devastating storms
are abruptly putting an end to the long-running
debate over whether or not climate change
is real. Not only is it real, it's here,
and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly
new global phenomenon: the man-made natural
disaster.
Barack

Today we're seeing that climate change is
about more than a few unseasonably mild
winters or hot summers. It's about the chain
of natural catastrophes and devastating
weather patterns that global warming is
beginning to set off around the world..
the frequency and intensity of which are
breaking records thousands of years old.
Barack
Obama - Environmental

Warming - Climate
Change - Failure
- World
The issue of climate change is one that
we ignore at our own peril. There may still
be disputes about exactly how much we're
contributing to the warming of the earth's
atmosphere and how much is naturally occurring,
but what we can be scientifically certain
of is that our continued use of fossil fuels
is pushing us to a point of no return. And
unless we free ourselves from a dependence
on these fossil fuels and chart a new course
on energy in this country, we are condemning
future generations to global catastrophe.

Success is not built on success. It's built
on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes
its built on catastrophe.

The mistake made by all previous systems
of ethics has been the failure to recognize
that life as such is the mysterious value
with which they have to deal. All spiritual
life meets us within natural life. Reverence
for life, therefore, is applied to natural
life and spiritual life alike. In the parable
of Jesus, the shepherd saves not merely
the soul of the lost sheep but the whole
animal. The stronger the reverence for natural
life, the stronger grows also that for spiritual
life.

Happy is the man who can endure the highest
and lowest fortune. He who has endured such
vicissitudes with equanimity has deprived
misfortune of its power.
Seneca

Some people are destroyed by their first
failure, while others are destroyed by their
first major success. So let's have successes
in small amounts, leading up to being able
to be successful.
Jose
Silva - Failure
- People
- Success
Sometimes when a person is too successful
too rapidly, he goes off in all directions,
and doesn't know how to cope with it. We
say do not be ruined by your first failure,
or spoiled by your first success.
