I failed again.

For the nth time (believe me I already lost count), I failed again. But I'm not about to give up.

Some very inspiring FAILURE quotes:

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try. - Beverly Sills

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.-Anais Nin

My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.- Elaine Maxwell

There is no failure except in no longer trying.-Elbert Hubbard

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing. -George Bernard Shaw

Those who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try nothing and succeed. (adapted)-Lloyd Jones

I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.-Michael Jordan

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.-Robert F. Kennedy

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

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

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.-Thomas Alva Edison

Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.-William Saroyan
