"If I ran a school, I'd give the average grade to the ones who gave me all the right answers, for being good parrots. I'd give the top grades to those who made a lot of mistakes and told me about them, and then told me what they learned from them."
Buckminster Fuller
"There is no failure except in no longer trying."
Elbert Hubbard
"The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it; so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it."
Elbert Hubbard
"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one."
Elbert Hubbard
"You're never beaten until you admit it."
George Patton

Carl Jung

Ben Stein
"Men are born to succeed, not fail."
Henry Thoreau

Calvin Coolidge

Quentin Tarantino
"To err is human. To blame it on somebody else is even more human."
Arthur Bloch
"The greatness comes not when things always go good for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments when sadness comes. Because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain."
Richard Nixon
"Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment."
Jim Horning
"If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment."
Henry Thoreau
"Expect people to be better than they are; it helps them to become better. But don't be disappointed when they are not; it helps them to keep trying."
Merry Browne
"What you have lost will not be returned to you. It will always be lost. You're left with only your scars to mark the void. All you can choose to do is go on or not. But if you go on, it's knowing you carry your scars with you."
Charles Frazier
"Errors are inevitable. The mark of character is not refusing to recognize them, but acknowledging them and taking responsibility."
Andrew Sullivan
