#failure

"I think you can have 10,000 explanations for failure, but no good explanation for success."

"Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another."

"I've had great success and I've had catastrophic failure. It's really how you handle the rough stuff that defines you, I think."

"The phoenix must burn to emerge."

"The futility of action does not absolve one from the failure to act. -"

"The will to persevere is often the difference between failure and success."
