"You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that
we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down."

"The greatest glory in life lies not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fall."

--Nelson Mandela

If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.
~Thomas Watson, Senior Founder of IBM

Failure seldom stops you. What stops you is the fear of failure.
~Jack Lemmon
