Whether in success or in failure I'm proud of every single movie I've ever directed.

Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State's failure all crime in the end is the crime of the community.

In high school in sport I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure.

Failure is authentic and because it's authentic it's real and genuine and because of that it's a pure state of being.

Sometimes failure isn't an opportunity in disguise it's just you.

Don't think of it as failure. Think of it as time-released success.

We need to teach the highly educated man that it is not a disgrace to fail and that he must analyze every failure to find its cause. He must learn how to fail intelligently for failing is one of the greatest arts in the world.

Failure means a stripping away of the inessential.

It's not necessary to fear the prospect of failure but to be determined not to fail.

But while success and failure depend on conditions the mind neither waxes nor wanes.

I have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success.

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.

It is often the failure who is the pioneer in new lands new undertakings and new forms of expression.

Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the triumph of hateful failure. Do not mistake a child for his symptom.

The point is not to take the world's opinion as a guiding star but to go one's way in life and working unerringly neither depressed by failure nor seduced by applause.

I read less and less. I have not forgiven books for their failure to tell me the truth and make me happy.

As I said there is nothing wrong with failing. Pick yourself up and try it again. You never are going to know how good you really are until you go out and face failure.

I'm hopeful. I know there is a lot of ambition in Washington obviously. But I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with success as opposed to failure.

Keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final.

There is no loneliness greater than the loneliness of a failure. The failure is a stranger in his own house.

Discipline is based on pride on meticulous attention to details and on mutual respect and confidence. Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of the goal or the fear of failure.

Women like men should try to do the impossible. And when they fail their failure should be a challenge to others.

Success is not a good teacher failure makes you humble.

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do by finding out what will not do and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
