“If we do not succeed, then we run the risk of failure.”

“Failure is a reality; we all fail at times, and it's painful when we do. But it's better to fail while striving for something wonderful, challenging, adventurous, and uncertain than to say, " I don't want to try because I may not succeed completely.”

“We will have to take risks, to chance failure, to be willing to walk away from the familiar paths that have brought us to this point.”

“The brave man is not the one without fear but the one who does what he must despite being afraid. To succeed, you must be willing to risk total failure; you must learn this.”

“We do not just risk repeating history if we sweep it under the carpet, we also risk being myopic about our present.”

“To succeed in the world we do everything we can to appear successful already.”

“We do not live to think, but, on the contrary, we think in order that we may succeed in surviving.”

“Nothing fails like success, because we do not learn anything from it. We only learn from failure, but we do not always learn the right things from failure. If there is a failure of expectations, that is, if the messages that we receive are not the same as those we expected, we can make three possible inferences.”

“Don't be afraid of failure. This is the way to succeed.”

“And most of all, I want to emphasize to you, Mr. President-elect, that we now are going to want to do everything we can to help you succeed, because if you succeed, then the country succeeds.”
