William Arthur Ward Quotes

Remember when your plans fail, that temporary defeat is not permanent failure.

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.

Everyone crashes Some get back on Some don't Some can't.

Failure is a stepping stone to success.

Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does.

I have a number of famous quotes, and one of them is, if you get knocked down, get back up again. I don't really feel like I want to let anything ultimately defeat me.

It's only a sure defeat when you stop trying.

Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

Every time I've failed, people had me out for the count, but I always come back.

When life knocks you down, keep getting up.

You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.

Life is designed to knock you down. It will knock you down time and time again, but it doesn't matter how many times you fall - it matters how many times you get back up.

One of the things is we tend to give up too soon. We get knocked down a couple of times, and we stay down. It's so important to get back up again.

You've got to think life can give you some bad knocks; no matter how hard you're knocked, you've got to get up.

It doesn't matter whatever has happened in my life; it doesn't matter how many ditches I've had to go through in my life. I keep going forward.
