“Most so called FAILURES are only temporary defeats”

“Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.”

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

“Failure is only temporary.”

“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.”

“Everyone expected him to succeed, no matter what the arena, and so failure, even temporary failure, had ceased to be an option.”
