• George Bernard Shaw:

  A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

• Henry Petroski:

  Engineering has many dimensions, but the idea of failure spreads across all of them... By appreciating how [something may] fail to function aesthetically, environmentally, ergonomically, or in any other way, we can better understand the multifarious arenas in which engineering problems must be conceived and attacked.

• Jack Nicklaus:

  I think I fail a bit less than everyone else.

• H. Fred Ale:

  My green thumb came only as a result of the mistakes I made while learning to see things from the plant's point of view.

• Oswald Theodore Avery (CDN bacteriologist 1877-1955):

  Whenever you fall, pick up something.

• Bishop W.C. Magee:

  The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.

• Madeleine L'Engle:

  Human beings are the only creatures who are allowed to fail. If an ant fails, it's dead. But we're allowed to learn from our mistakes and from our failures. And that's how I learn, by falling flat on my face and picking myself up and starting all over again. If I'm not free to fail, I will never start another book, I'll never start a new thing.

• Tom Hanks:

  You learn more from getting your butt kicked than from getting it kissed.

• Bill Vaughan:

  In the game of life it's a good idea to have a few early losses, which relieves you of the pressure of trying to maintain an undefeated season.

• Robert F. Kennedy:

  Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

• Albert Einstein:

  I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.

• Albert Brooks:

  If I were the Devil and I really wanted to punish you, I would give you great success in something you didn't believe in. And then you'd be screwed for life. You'd never be able to understand what happened, who you were, or why they liked it, and you'd keep chasing something that wasn't part of you. I'd rather fail at something I love than succeed at something I hate, believe me.

• Ted Williams:

  Baseball is the only field of endeavour where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.
