Every great improvement has come after repeated failures. Virtually nothing comes out right the first time. Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.

Charles Kettering

Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.

John C. Maxwell

Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.

C. S. Lewis

Every successful person has had failures but repeated failure is no guarantee of eventual success

Eric Hoffer

Failures, repeated failures, are sign-posts on the road to achievement. The only time you don't want to fail is the last time you try something (and it works).

Charles Kettering

When I joined Labour in 1982, I didn't feel I belonged to a party born to power. My repeated experience was of bitter and repeated defeats.

Douglas Alexander

Public policy is a study in imperfection. It involves imperfect people, with imperfect information, facing deeply imperfect choices - so it's not surprising that they're getting imperfect results.

Jake Sullivan

Not every good idea survives. Not every new form of art is repeated. Not every new potential instinct is successful. Only the successful ones get repeated. By natural selection and then through repetition they become probable, more habitual.

Rupert Sheldrake

We live in an imperfect world, and imperfect people surround us every day.

Joyce Meyer

There are no successes and failures in life, only achievements - stepping stones.

Ian Gardner

God stays faithful to us in spite of our repeated failures.

Jennifer Rothschild

God uses the flawed, the failures, and the imperfect to accomplish His perfect will.

Elizabeth George

Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end results of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.

Eric Hoffer

Every attempt we make is imperfect; yet each one of those imperfect attempts is an occasion for a delight unlike anything else on earth.

Stephen Nachmanovitch

Let's be honest. There's not a business anywhere that is without problems. Business is complicated and imperfect. Every business everywhere is staffed with imperfect human beings and exists by providing a product or service to other imperfect human beings.
