“First, not a word more from you about the past. There was an error in your calculations. I know what that is. It affects the whole machine, and failure is the consequence.

Every failure teaches a man something, if he will learn; and you are too sensible a man not to learn from this failure.”

“An event in which you did not achieve your desired outcome (definition of failure).”

“Well, more than likely you will never entirely dissolve either your fear of your own failure or your small pleasure in other people's.”

“In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. ”
