Georges Clemenceau Quotes

It doesn't matter how far you might rise. At some point you are bound to stumble because if you’re constantly doing what we do, raising the bar. If you're constantly pushing yourself higher, higher the law of averages not to mention the Myth of Icarus predicts that you will at some point fall. And when you do I want you to know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.

I just believe that the feeling of wonder is amazing. I am pushing myself as far as I can humanly push myself... I can only hope for the best and expect the worse.

Well, the idea is that failure is an inevitable partner on the road to success and, if you're not willing to confront failure, you can never find out how good you are.

So you've got to test the envelope, find out what are your abilities and if you falter, pick yourself up and test it again. Otherwise, what is it all about, you know?

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

What people call success is only preparation for the next failure.

I am a series of small victories and large defeats and I am as amazed as any other that I have gotten from there to here.

Too late, I found you can't wait to become perfect, you got to go out and fall down and get up with everybody else.

From success, you learn absolutely nothing. From failure and setbacks conclusions can be drawn. That goes for your private life as well as your career.

Man errs, till he has ceased to strive.

For, after all, every one who wishes to gain true knowledge must climb the Hill Difficulty alone, and since there is no royal road to the summit, I must zigzag it in my own way. I slip back many times, I fall, I stand still, I run against the edge of hidden obstacles, I lose my temper and find it again and keep it better, I trudge on, I gain a little, I feel encouraged, I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory. One more effort and I reach the luminous cloud, the blue depths of the sky, the uplands of my desire.

We stumble and fall constantly, even when we are most enlightened.

Take risks. Fail. Pick yourself back up again. And always, always remember this: there is no adversity capable of stopping you once the choice to persevere is made.

Turn your stumbling blocks into steppingstones to success.

No matter what one does, regardless of failure or success, the experience is a form of success in itself.

The roller-coaster is my life; life is a fast, dizzying game; life is a parachute jump; it’s taking chances, falling over and getting up again; it’s mountaineering; it’s wanting to get to the very top of yourself and feeling angry and dissatisfied when you don’t manage it

One thing I've come to learn about myself is that I have to keep going.

True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful.

I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.

I can only put myself in the process and try to learn through the process. Sometimes it will go well and sometimes it won't.

Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly. Taste the relish to be found in competition - in having put forth the best within you.

If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.

I'm just not willing to give up on myself. If I'm going to fail, then I want to fail to the limits of my talent.

I think if I ever stopped pushing myself, I would revert quickly to quite repetitive, restrictive behaviour. But in pushing myself and concentrating on what I can do, I think I can contribute to society. And that gives me the desire to keep pushing, to see what I'm capable of. The thing to do is not to stop.

Too often we just look at these glistening successes. Behind them in many, many cases is failure along the way, and that doesn't get put into the Wikipedia story or the bio. Yet those failures teach you every bit as much as the successes.
