“Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success.”

A man should have the fine point of his soul taken off to become fit for this world.

I am convinced more and more day by day that fine writing is next to fine doing, the top thing in the world.

Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever.

Life is but a day; A fragile dewdrop on its perilous way From a tree’s summit.

How does the poet speak to men with power, but by being still more a man than they.

My love is selfish. I cannot breathe without you.

You are always new, the last of your kisses was ever the sweetest.

Whatever the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth -whether it existed before or not.

Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know.

The feel of not to feel it, When there is none to heal it Nor numbed sense to steel it.

And how they kist each other’s tremulous eyes.

Pleasure is oft a visitant; but pain Clings cruelly to us.

Beauty is truth, truth beauty.

But the rose leaves herself upon the brier, For winds to kiss and grateful bees to feed.

I have an habitual feeling of my real life having past, and that I am leading a posthumous existence.

Stop and consider! life is but a day

Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.

When you try to do something big its hard to fail completely.

You know, be able to do something great in your life, you’re gonna have to realize your failures. You’re gonna have to embrace them and figure out how to overcome it.

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

Those who fail to learn from the brutal stompings visited on them in the past are doomed to be brutally stomped in the future.

I’m cool with failing so long as I know that there are people around me that love me unconditionally.

Most men fail, not through lack of education or agreeable personal qualities, but from lack of dogged determination, from lack of dauntless will.

Failure isn’t a character quality. It’s just an event. How you respond to failure is your character.
