Arnold Palmer Quotes

Sometimes when you lose you win, son. Failure is just life's way of preparing you for success.

A winner must first know what losing's like.

Failure is my specialty.

Sport and life is about losing. It's about understanding how to lose.

We get very little wisdom from success, you know.

A failure isn't a failure if it prepares you for success tomorrow.

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.

You are fortunate if you have learned the difference between temporary defeat and failure, more fortunate still if you have learned the truth that the very seed of success is dormant in every defeat that you experience.

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.

There is no success without failure and losses.

Rejection is a gift and failure is the best educator, so when someone knocks you down, get back up!

I've learned what it feels like to lose, believe me. But I think, in the end, that is just going to make winning that much better.

The art of victory is learned in defeat.

You can't win unless you learn how to lose.

Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.

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

We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.

Big defeats make us learn.

From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly, so that you will come to know the value of justice. I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty. Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time so that you don’t take friends for granted. I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either. And when you lose, as you will from time to time, I hope every now and then, your opponent will gloat over your failure. It is a way for you to understand the importance of sportsmanship. I hope you’ll be ignored so you know the importance of listening to others, and I hope you will have just enough pain to learn compassion. Whether I wish these things or not, they’re going to happen. And whether you benefit from them or not will depend upon your ability to see the message in your misfortunes.

You can't succeed if you don't know what losing is.

It is important when you are losing to come back and not get beat.

I wasn't a kid who won every tournament I was playing, and I think that helped me - it motivated me a lot to know what it felt like not to win.

You have to experience and take defeat in any and all aspects of life so you can be better and stronger.

I'm inspired by failure. The process of defeat – picking yourself back up again is the hardest thing in the world.

Many successful people have found opportunities in failure and adversity that they could not recognize in more favorable circumstances.
