Many people dream of success. To me, success can only be achieved through repeated failure and introspection.

Soichiro Honda

Success is seldom permanent, and failure is seldom fatal. The important thing is to keep trying.

Anna Olson

People seldom see the halting and painful steps by which the most insignificant success is achieved.

Anne Sullivan

The American system demands success, and in order to succeed we must first believe that we can. Yet our society, with its intolerance of failure and poverty, traps millions of people in positions where any kind of success seems impossible to contemplate, and in which failure itself is a kind of passive rebellion against their own misery and the social system which created it in the first place. To succeed it is necessary to accept the world as it is and rise above it.

Michael Korda

I've never been able to contemplate failure. Success is everything.

Raymond Blanc

Failure is so important. We speak about success all the time. It is the ability to resist failure or use failure that often leads to greater success. I've met people who don't want to try for fear of failing.

J. K. Rowling

Success, in my view, is the willingness to strive for something you really want. The person not reaching the top is no less a success than the one who achieved it, if they both sweated blood, sweat and tears and overcame obstacles and fears. The failure to be perfect does not mean you're not a success.

Fran Tarkenton

The line between failure and success is so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it. How many a person has thrown up his or her hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience, would have achieved success. A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

Elbert Hubbard

Consider the core of the mind to be a wagon, with willpower to be carried about in it. Push it to a place where there can be failure, and there will be failure. Push it to a place where there can be success, and there will be success. But whether there is success or failure, if one entrusts himself to the straightness of this wagon of the core of the mind, he will attain right-mindedness in either case. Severing oneself from desire and being like a rock or tree, nothing will ever be achieved. Not departing from desire, but realizing a desireless right-mindedness - "this is the Way".

Takuan Soho

Cultivate your desire for success to be greater than the fear of failure; Failure is merely a pitstop between where you stand and success. Failure allows you to learn the fastest; Failure inspires winners and defeats losers.

Fran Tarkenton

The man who is afraid to risk failure seldom has to face success.

John Wooden

Success breeds a disregard of the possibility of failure.

Hyman Minsky

Never admit the possibility of failure, or speak in a way that infers failure as a possibility.

Wallace D. Wattles

Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.

Coco Chanel

The man who lives for himself is a failure. Even if he gains much wealth, position or fortune, he is still a failure. The man who lives for others has achieved true success. A rich man who consecrates his wealth and his position to the good of humanity is a success.

Norman Vincent Peale

If you were to plot my success or failure, it goes, it very seldom stays on a high plateau.

Jeff Beck
