“Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.”

“There comes with every experience of temporary defeat, and every failure and every form of adversity, the seed of an equivalent benefit”

“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.”

“Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.”

“Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.”

“Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach”

“Before success comes in any man’s life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do. More than five hundred of the most successful men this country has ever known told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them.”
