My Failure Quotes

As I worked to rebuild the ghost town I had made, I felt keenly that my failure to help Timothy was really only the latest chapter in a lifelong history of inadequacy and powerlessness Picture Quote #1

It’s not fear of striking out that makes me reluctant to step up to the plate. It’s the fear of getting hit in the head by a 90 mph fastball, the pitcher coming off of the mound to stomp me with her cleats while I am down, the rest of the opposing team rushing out of the dugout hurling insults as they kick me and spit on me, while all along the crowd in the stands is cheering them on and laughing at my failure. So, no, it’s not the fear of striking out that keeps me from stepping up to the plate Picture Quote #1

All I can do will only ever be a faint image of what I see and my success will always be less than my failure or perhaps equal to the failure Picture Quote #1

I later discovered that in order to be a good athlete one must care intensely what is happening with a ball, even if one doesn’t have possession of it. This was ultimately my failure: my inability to work up a passion for the location of balls Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent most of my life trying to think my way to happiness, and my failure to achieve that goal only proves, in my mind, that I am not a good enough thinker. It never occurred to me that the source of my unhappiness is not flawed thinking but thinking itself Picture Quote #1

At 49, I can say something I never would have said when I was a player. I am a better person because of my failures and disgraces Picture Quote #1

I have had unsuccessful films, but I learned a lot from those films. I give my failures as much importance as my success Picture Quote #1

I’ve never really been very good at marriage. It’s one of my failures. I’ve tried my best, but I do realise the common denominator is me it’s something I’m doing Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s time to take a look at my failures and stop calling them successes. Now I can start working at something that can use me best Picture Quote #1

Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling your mercy in my success alone; but let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure Picture Quote #1

I had the lonely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life Picture Quote #1

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it. Let me not look for allies in life’s battlefield but to my own strength. Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved but hope for the patience to win my freedom. Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling your mercy in my success alone; but let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure Picture Quote #1

My failure, during the first five or six years of my art training, to get set in the right direction, and the disappointment which it caused me, drove me the more persistently into writing as an alternative Picture Quote #1

My debts are large, my failures great, my shame secret and heavy; yet I come to ask for my good, I quake in fear lest my prayer be granted Picture Quote #1

At 49, I can say something I never would have said when I was a player, that I’m a better person because of my failures and disgraces Picture Quote #1

The other key to my failures seemed to be belief. I was told that I didn’t get results because I didn’t believe strongly enough in psi, because I didn’t have an open mind! Picture Quote #1

I’m accusing you of violating the laws of nature, he said, irritated at my failure to respond. Nature’s virtue is intact, I reassured him. I just know some different laws Picture Quote #1

I’ve certainly had less practice at fatherhood than I have at acting, but in fatherhood, at least my failures are private! Picture Quote #1

But whatever my failure, I have this thing to remember - that I was a pioneer in my profession, just as my grandfathers were in theirs, in that I was the first man in this section to earn his living as a writer Picture Quote #1

The truth is - most things are probably gonna fail. But my failures bring me to the next thing. So in that regard, nothing’s a failure, it’s a continuation Picture Quote #1

I take responsibility for my successes as well as my failures. But when I look at my professional mistakes, I’m always left with the feeling that maybe I should have done more Picture Quote #1

If my child had prejudice in his head, I’d be ashamed. I would see it as my failure as a parent Picture Quote #1

If you hear my idea but don’t believe it, that’s not your fault; it’s mine. If you see my new product but don’t buy it, that’s my failure, not yours. If you attend my presentation and you’re bored, that’s my fault too Picture Quote #1

If you’re going to define me properly, you must think in terms of my failures as well as my successes Picture Quote #1

I feel like the bigger risks that I take, the more I learn. I know that I learn more from my failures than successes Picture Quote #1

When preaching is done right, it can change lives. When it’s done badly, my failure goes beyond the merely human Picture Quote #1
