A Quote by Henry David Thoreau

Men are born to succeed, not to fail. — © Henry David Thoreau
Men are born to succeed, not to fail.
Despair and postponement are cowardice and defeat. Men were born to succeed, not to fail.
Tough times don't last but tough people do. No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch. Men are born to succeed, not fail.
In order to succeed, you have to fail, no? You ride a bicycle, you fail; you try a few times, you succeed.
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.
Whatever your sex or position, life is a battle in which you are to show your pluck, and woe be to the coward. Whether passed on a bed of sickness or a tented field, it is ever the same fair play and admits no foolish distinction. Despair and postponement are cowardice and defeat. Men were born to succeed, not to fail.
The difference between men who succeed or fail is their ability to handle pressure.
Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed.
People do not mind people who try things and fail. If you're a good entrepreneur, you're not going to succeed in every single thing you try. You've got to try to succeed at more things than fail.
You can't be afraid to fail. It's the only way you succeed - you're not gonna succeed all the time, and I know that.
We are committed and if we succeed we'll succeed magnificently, and if we fail it will be a magnificent failure. The magnificence is important.
Fail early, fail often, in order to succeed sooner.
Losers quit when they fail. Winners fail until they succeed.
One way in which fools succeed where wise men fail is that through ignorance of the danger they sometimes go coolly about a hazardous business.
Men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.
Nobody likes to fail. I want to succeed in everything I do, which isn't much. But the things that I'm really passionate about, if I fail at those, if I'm not successful, what do I have?
That is Buddha`s meaning of nirvana: to be free from life and death, to be free from desire. The moment you are free from all desires... remember, I repeat, ALL desires. The so-called religious, spiritual desires are included in it, nothing is excluded. All desires have to be dropped because every desire brings frustration, misery, boredom. If you succeed it brings boredom; if you fail it brings despair. If you are after money there are only two possibilities: either you will fail or you will succeed. If you succeed you will be bored with money.
