You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.
I am grateful for even the sharpest criticism as long as it addresses the point.
No one ever became great except through many and great mistakes.
Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.
It's failure, really, that you grow by, although nobody likes to experience it.
I think failing is the best way to keep you grounded, curious, and humble. Success is dangerous because often you don't understand why you succeeded. You almost always know why you've failed. You have a lot of time to think about it.
Success isn't permanent and failure isn't fatal.
To survive and even thrive in a changing world, nature offers another great lesson: the survivors are those who at the least adapt to change, or even better learn to benefit from change and grow intellectually and personally. That means careful listening and constant learning.
Most people can learn a lot more than they think they can. They sell themselves short without trying.
I've learned a lot from my mistakes, stumbles, and losses in football.
Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.
It's OK to be wrong. You learn from your wrongs. You don't learn from being right. If you're right, you already know it. If you're wrong, it's because you don't know about it, and you made a mistake.
Dealing with failure is easy: Work hard to improve. Success is also easy to handle: You've solved the wrong problem. Work hard to improve.
The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.
There will be many failures sprinkled among the successes you enjoy.
A second chance doesn't mean anything if you haven't learned from your first mistake.
Failure is not the opposite of success; it's part of success.
You don’t always win, but every time you lose, you get better.
Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.
The more successful you are, the more mistakes you will make. People who don't do anything, don't make mistakes.
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.
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.
Failure is always an option.
We will all fail in life, but nobody has to be a failure. Failing at a thing doesn't make you a failure. You are only a failure when you quit trying.
Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing.
