Mary Pickford Quotes

Today is a new day. Even if you were wrong yesterday, you can get it right today.

Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is.

If you fail the first time that's just a chance to start over again.

So yesterday you fell off the wagon? Or maybe you blew your diet? Or lost your temper and shot off your mouth? Well, that was yesterday. Today is a brand-new day with a clean slate, so forget yesterday!

Life gives you lots of chances to screw up which means you have just as many chances to get it right.

When we are confronted by failure and mistakes, we can leave them behind and go on with our lives.

Hopefully, we're still living in the land of second chances.

Take a (second or third or fourth) chance. Remake the world.

I might look successful but I've made many mistakes. People take their failures too seriously. You have to be positive and believe you will find success next time.

I wish I could've lived my life without making any wrong turns. But that's impossible. A path like that doesn't exist. We fail. We trip. We get lost. We make mistakes. And little by little, one step at a time, we push forward. It's all we can do. On our own two feet.

It would be so great if it were possible to go through life without making a single mistake but there is no such path. Falling, tripping, losing the way, making mistakes, little by little, walking one step at a time, this is the only way.

You miss a lot of opportunities by making mistakes, but that's part of it: knowing that you're not shut out forever, and that there's a goal you still can reach.

We all fall off the wagon. It's only one day; it's not the rest of your life. Pick yourself up and go again.

A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.

Having a second chance makes you want to work even harder.

Don't be frightened of failure. It makes you stronger if you learn from your mistakes.

It's a wise man who understands that every day is a new beginning, because boy, how many mistakes do you make in a day? I don't know about you, but I make plenty. You can't turn the clock back, so you have to look ahead.

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.

Failure is just another step…

No matter where you are, what point in your life you're at, it's not the end.

People say, 'I failed out of college! My life is over!' Well, it's not over. It depends on what you do with it.

Good or bad day, or good play or bad play, or whatever it is. You have a chance to get back up and begin again, It's something that's really stuck with me.

I know that when you are experiencing failure, it's pretty damn painful. It is easy in retrospect to wax poetic about it. But in the moment, you don't think you will survive, let alone have the time to reflect on how valuable those lessons will be for you in the future.

I don't believe in make-or-break moments in your life. If you screw something up, it can knock you down, but that only means you'll be better when you get back to where you were before.

I am a firm believer that you can make a mistake but that shouldn't define you. Everybody deserves a second chance.
