The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do.

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

I was relentless, even in the face of total lack of encouragement, because much more often than you'd think, sheer persistence is the difference between success and failure.

You become strong by defying defeat and by turning loss and failure into success.

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.
