ON SUCCESS AND FAILURE

HOWELL...
There's dignity in suffering, nobility in pain; but failure is a salted wound that burns again and again.

HUBBARD...
A failure is a man who has blundered but is not able to cash in on the experience.

JAMES...
The moral flabbiness born of the exclusive worship of the bitch-goddess Success. That--with the squalid cash interpretation put on the word success--is our national disease.

MORLEY...
There is only one success--to be able to spend your life your own way.

HARE...
Half the failures in life arise from pulling in one's horse as he is leaping.

DRYDEN...
If you are alive, you are a success.

LUSTIKA...
Success teaches you what to do next time, failure teaches you what not to do next time. Two good teachers.

BRACCUS...
Success and happiness are the same word, spelled differently.

CHURCHILL...
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

VANDERKAMP...
Success should cost more than failure...greater demand, lower supply. But failure costs more.

UPMANN...
It's been said genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. That's the same formula for success.

KETTERING...
One fails forward toward success.

BROWN...
Failure is an event, never a person.

BRAULT...
Just once it might be instructive to pretend you're accepting an award for failure, just to see who you would thank.

ADAMS...
Sucess has made a failure out of a lot of men.

TRAYMAN...
If you are on the wrong path, failure is better than success.
