Don't take 'no' for an answer, never submit to failure. Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance. You will make all kinds of mistakes, but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or events.

Great success always comes at the risk of enormous failure.

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

It's fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.

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