“If we are not willing to fail we will never accomplish anything. All creative acts involve the risk of failure.”

“What's the bigger risk: Taking the risk, or not taking the risk? What will you accomplish by not taking the risk? What will you accomplish by taking the risk, even if you fail?”

“The TV scientist who mutters sadly, "The experiment is a failure; we have failed to achieve what we had hoped for," is suffering mainly from a bad script writer. An experiment is never a failure solely because it fails to achieve predicted results. An experiment is a failure only when it also fails adequately to test the hypothesis in question, when the data it produces don't prove anything one way or another.”

“All of us fail, but this doesn't mean we are failures.”

“The surest path to success is to learn to have a healthy relationship with failure. If we aren't failing, then we aren't doing anything interesting.”

“A thing is only as great as the amount a person is willing to risk for it. If you are not willing to risk anything, then the thing mustn't be so great at all.”
