Failures to heroic minds are the stepping stones to success.

I'd rather have huge success and huge failures than travel in the middle of the road.

It is on our failures that we base a new and different and better success.

After my spectacular failures I could not be satisfied with an ordinary success.

If I had permitted my failures or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress.

Well first of all it's a business and it's a tough business and you have to have the strength to survive all the set backs all the failures that make this a mean business that's getting meaner and meaner every year in my opinion.

The sports page records people's accomplishments the front page usually records nothing but man's failures.

I always turn to the sports pages first which records people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures.

For after my marriage I had made various attempts to write fiction. They were clearly failures.

You can't live your life blaming your failures on your parents and what they did or didn't do for you. You're dealt the cards that you're dealt. I realised it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself.

The failures and successes are necessary for learning.

For four years I listened to stories of intelligence failures and it wasn't due to incompetence of anyone in the system but that the system is so arcane.

The intelligence failures with respect to Iraq were massive and have damaged our credibility around the world.
