Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

My debts are large, my failures great, my shame secret and heavy; yet I come to ask for my good, I quake in fear lest my prayer be granted.

Of course I would have preferred success; but failing in that, I have no regrets for having rejected all advice to the contrary, and resolutely made the struggle.

Success is falling nine times and getting up ten.

I firmly believe that unless one has tasted the bitter pill of failure, one cannot aspire enough for success.

Failure will never overtake me if my definition to succeed is strong enough.
