Success doesn't come to you; you go to it.

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

A series of failures may culminate in the best possible result.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Later I will tell him: our courage comes out in different ways. We are brave in our bold dreams but also in our hesitations. We are brave in our willingness to carry on even as our pounding hearts say, “You will fail and land on your face.” Brave in our terrific tolerance for making a hundred mistakes. Day after day. We are brave in our persistence.

Failure is only postponed success as long as courage ''coaches'' ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.
