“It is not the failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate theirs.”

“You are responsible for all of your successes, and the lack thereof. And that is the essential point that failure, your ever-faithful friend, wants to make: that your failure could not exist without you—without your stupidity, without your lies, without your mistakes, your uselessness, your lack of faith, your ineptitude, your unjustifiable confidence in your alleged abilities, you stupid loser—failure is your only friend. Failure is your only lover. Failure is your only hope.”

“Failure on the other hand is infectious. The world is full of charming failures (for all charming people have something to conceal, usually their total dependence on the appreciation of others) and unless the writer is quite ruthless with these amiable footlers, they will drag him down with them.”

“You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.”

“You are not a failure until you start blaming others for your mistakes”

“If you possess the ability to learn from your mistakes, then failure is literally impossible, because each rejection brings you closer to perfection.”

“In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.”

“LOVE of others is the appreciation of one's self.

MAY your egotism be so gigantic that you comprise mankind in your self-sympathy.”

“It's always easy to blame others. You can spend your entire life blaming the world, but your successes or failures are entirely your own.”

“Don't let your failures define you.”
