"Man can climb to the highest summits, but he cannot dwell there long."

George Bernard Shaw

"I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time."

Herbert Bayard Swope

"More men are beaten than fail. It is not wisdom they need or money, or brilliance, or "pull," but just plain gristle and bone. This rude, simple, primitive power which we call "stick-to-it-iveness" is the uncrowned king of the world of endeavour. People are utterly wrong in their slant upon things. They see the successes that men have made and somehow they appear to be easy. But that is a world away from the facts. It is failure that is easy. Success is always hard. A man can fail in ease; he can succeed only by paying out all that he has and is."

Henry Ford

"A deep fall often leads to greater happiness."

William Shakespeare

"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently."

Henry Ford

"Mistakes are the portals of discovery."

James Joyce

"The greater the error, the harder it is to recognize."

Christoph Pfluger

"The savage devour each other, and the tame betray each other, and that is called the course of the world."

Arthur Schopenhauer

"Comfort is like a drug. Once you get used to it, it becomes addictive. Give a weak person constant stimulation, good food, and cheap entertainment, and they will abandon their ambitions. Dreams die in the comfort zone."

Inspirational quote on success and failure by Michael Jordan

"I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I have been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

Michael Jordan, Basketball-Legende

"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

Nelson Mandela

"We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes–understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success."
