The document discusses various quotes about failure from prominent figures like Thomas Watson Sr., John Dewey, Michael Jordan, and Winston Churchill. It emphasizes that failure is an important part of the learning process and that success often comes from learning from mistakes and setbacks, rather than from initial successes alone. Failing and learning from failures can help point the way to eventual success through trial and error.

2. Perspiration “ Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.” -John Dewey “ I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.” -Michael Jordan “ Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.” -Oscar Wilde “ It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice, and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done.” - Samuel Smiles “ I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” -Thomas Alva Edison “ Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” -Winston Churchill Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid. - John Keats “ It is on our failures that we base a new and different and better success.” -Havelock Ellis 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. "Every strike brings me closer to the next home run." Babe Ruth "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.: - Wayne Gretsky "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -FDR
