A Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. — © Theodore Roosevelt
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
A man's usefulness depends on his living up to his ideals insofar as he can. It is hard to fail but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune, make for a finer, nobler type of manhood. Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life.
In order to succeed, you have to fail, no? You ride a bicycle, you fail; you try a few times, you succeed.
Suppose you should fail. Is that so terrible? Not to have tried is a worse failure.
I've decided that whether I succeed or fail, I have to give it 100 per cent. That way, at least I know I tried.
What can it matter to me, that I succeed or fail ? The undertaking is none of mine, if they want me to succeed I'll fail, and vice versa, so as not to be rid of my tormentors.
How often have I tried just hard enough so that I can then say to myself that I tried with the real purpose of assuaging my guilt about something I did not wish to succeed in the first place?
If you run a website that doesn't have something that's terrible on it, you are not trying hard enough. You have to fail, fail, fail. You have to fail and fail miserably many times.
If you don't fail, you haven't tried hard enough.
Sometimes it seems that we are successful only because we have not tried hard enough for our best. We do the hard thing, and one day we succeed, and many things are made plain to us.
Many people are afraid to fail, so they don't try. They may dream, talk, and even plan, but they don't take that critical step of putting their money and their effort on the line. To succeed in business, you must take risks. Even if you fail, that's how you learn. There has never been, and will never be, an Olympic skater who didn't fall on the ice.
If you're afraid to fail, you'll never succeed.
If you are afraid to fail, you will never succeed.
Where you succeed will never matter so much as where you fail.
The innovator's motto is this: I succeed or I learn but I never fail.
The difference between those that succeed and those that fail is, those that succeeded tried.
I've tried to be a better person... I've tried, and tried and tried! You know how hard I've tried! Tell me how I've tried..." "Nice try... Five cents, please!
