“No man is a failure who has friends.”
“A failure is a man who has blundered but is not able to cash in on the experience.”
“The man who is afraid to risk failure seldom has to face success.”
“The man who has done his level best…is a success, even though the world write him down a failure.”
“The ragamuffin who sees his life as a voyage of discovery and runs the risk of failure has a better feel for faithfulness than the timid man who hides behind the law and never finds out who he is at all.”
“We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.”
