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.

Failure comes from ego, greed, envy, fear, imitation. I have success not because I am smart, but because I am rational.

I've often felt there might be more to be gained by studying business failures than business successes.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

A failure teaches you that something can't be done-that way.

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