“I’m never down; I’m either up or getting up.”

“To err is human, but when the eraser wears out ahead of the pencil, you’re overdoing it.” — Jerry Jenkins.

“I have not failed. I’ve successfully found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” — Thomas Edison.

“There is no failure. Only feedback.” — Robert Allen.

“The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.” — Lloyd Jones.

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing.” — George Bernard Shaw.

“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” — Theodore Roosevelt.

“It is defeat that turns bone to flint, and gristle to muscle, and makes people invincible, and formed those heroic natures that are now in ascendancy in our world. Do not, then, be afraid of defeat. You are never so near to victory as when defeated in a good cause.” — Henry Ward Beecher.

“A man may fall many times, but he won’t be a failure until he says that someone pushed him.” — Elmer G. Letterman.

“The is no failure except in no longer trying.” — Elbert Hubbard.

“Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” — Samuel Beckett.

“Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.” — Robert Louis Stevenson.

“It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done.” — Samuel Smiles.

“You always pass failure on your way to success.” — Mickey Rooney.

“The best way out is always through.” — Robert Frost.

“Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.” — Psalm 37:24 (NLT)

“Failures are not something to be avoided. You want to have them happen as quickly as you can so you can make progress rapidly.” — Gordon Moore, Chairman Emeritus, Intel

“If you give yourself to Him, and accept Him as your Saviour, then, sinful as your life may have been, for His sake you are accounted righteous. Christ’s character stands in place of your character, and you are accepted before God just as if you had not sinned.” — Ellen G. White. Steps to Christ (1892). p62.2

“Our part is, by believing His word, to find rest in Christ Jesus. His words are spirit and life. In believing them there is rest and peace.” — Ellen G. White. Letters About Another Place (1905).
