James Caan Quotes

Not everybody gets to play their first year or second year. Some people have to go through adversity.

We all have challenges. You can let them be obstacles or roadblocks, or you can use them.

If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it.

Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.

Do not bring me your successes; they weaken me. Bring me your problems; they strengthen me.

Failure makes me work even harder.

When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.

Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals.

You must expect failure after failure after failure before you succeed.

When fate throws a dagger at you, there are ways to catch it. If you catch it by the blade, you can harm yourself. But if you catch it by the handle, you can use it to help you fight through the obstacles ahead.

What we sometimes consider a stumbling block is rather a rock we can step on.

The only people without problems are those in cemeteries. It is not what happens to us that separates failures from successes. It is how we perceive and what we do about what happens that makes the difference.

Setbacks motivate me.

We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.

There's a lot of heartache because you don't always win. You need loads of determination.

There's always going to be bumps in the road. There's always going to be this and that, adversity. You just overcome it. It's what I've done all my life.

In all failures, the beginning is certainly the half of the whole.

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

What's important is not the accolades and memories of success but the way you respond when opportunities are denied.

You cannot succeed if at some point you haven't failed.

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.

As you step every day and we're going to see challenges, we going to see failures, we should certainly learn from the failures and be gracious with our successes too as well.

Success is buried on the other side of rejection.

Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next.

Never give up! Failure and rejection are only the first step to succeeding.
