It is most often not our strengths, our courage or our successes that bring two human hearts together, but it is often our shared vulnerability, our fears and our common failures that make us one.

Stefanie Schneider

I wonder if we climb to heaven over the ruins of many cherished schemes.

Laurel Lea

Often we will learn more from our failures than we do from our successes.

Bill Capodagli

We have been trained to broadcast our successes and hide our failures. But the truth is this: our failures humanise us, and they connect us to one another.

Vanessa Diffenbaugh

We do not learn so much by our successes as we learn by failures - our own and others! Especially if we see the failures properly corrected.

Frank Lloyd Wright

typically, our love for our leaders is one-sided: their successes become our own, while their failures are theirs alone.

Marcia Whicker

If success were easy, then it would not necessarily be true success. Some of history's most successful people learned to cope with failure as a natural offshoot of the experimental and creative process and often learned more from their failures than their successes. By taking the attitude that failure is merely a detour on the way to our destination, hope can blossom into success.

John Templeton

Our sufferings have taught us that no nation is sufficient unto itself, and that our prosperity depends in the long run, not upon the failures of our neighbors but their successes.

John Buchan

The problem is that most people focus on their failures rather than their successes. But the truth is that most people have many more successes than failures.

Jack Canfield

That which we manifest is before us; we are the creators of our own destiny. Be it through intention or ignorance, our successes and our failures have been brought on by none other than ourselves.

Garth Stein

We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes. We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. Success often lies just the other side of failure.

Leo Buscaglia

God's acceptance of us cannot be gained by our successes nor forfeited by our failures.

Tullian Tchividjian

To establish true self-esteem we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.

Denis Waitley

Where I'm is one of those stair climbing machines the agent has installed. You climb and climb forever and never get off the ground. You're trapped in your hotel room. It's the mystical sweat love lodge experience of our time, the only sort of Indian vision quest we can schedule into our daily planner.Our Stair Master to Heaven.

Chuck Palahniuk

As you step every day and we're going to see challenges, we going to see failures, we should certainly learn from the failures and be gracious with our successes too as well.
