There is no disgrace in honest failure; there is disgrace in fearing to fail.

We've got to get rid of the fear of failure in this country. In America, people start things, fail and shake themselves down and start things again. The animal spirit of capitalism is stronger there.

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time.

If you don't give people a chance to fail... you won't innovate... if you wanna be an innovative company allow people to make mistakes.

If a founder has passion and innovation, he needs to be supported. I am more intuitive than a numbers person, and I recognise that not all investments are going to be positive. Some may fail, and some may have problems for other reasons. That is life.

The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.
