“Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.”

“Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.”

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