“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”

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

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

“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.”

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

“Successful men become successful only because they acquire the habit of thinking in terms of success.”

“Most so called FAILURES are only temporary defeats”
