It’s important to celebrate your failures as much as your successes. If you celebrate your failures really well, and if you get to the motto and say, ‘Wow, I failed, I tried, I was wrong, I learned something,’ then you realize you have no fear, and when your fear goes away, you can move the world.

I’m interested in people that are human beings that are alive.

Noam Chomsky
137
I’ve been working professionally as an actor since I was 20. That’s going to be 25 years soon. So, that’s a veteran. That’s a big-time veteran. I’ve had some great successes, and I’ve had some not-successes.

My biggest successes were mainly in the pop market during the 80s.
Juice Newton

Brain surgeons are dealing with the very last thread of life, and they have to be very confident, but I think they tend to remember their failures rather than their successes, and that must be very hard. Who do you share that failure with? That’s why their personal lives are often disastrous.
James Nesbitt
165
The REM and Nirvana successes don’t mean much to me except as a potential distraction for bands who want to cash in on the trend. Don’t try to sound like someone else. REM and Nirvana don’t sound like anyone else.
Greg Ginn
166
Learn from your mistakes and build on your successes.
John C. Calhoun
167
My goal has always been not to look forward to the next thing, but to relish and celebrate the successes I have at the moment. Whether it’s landing a part in a student film or having a good day in acting class, I never discredit anything.
Dianna Agron
168
I’ve had my successes and failures. I know many academics in my field loathe me. I’ve come to loathe them back, as it seems only polite to do so. But at heart it’s absurd; we should band together against the big common enemies.
Alain de Botton
169
We are all proud of having thus contributed to the heretofore magnificent successes of our army.
Gustav Krupp
170
In general, I never think it is a good idea to try to recreate past successes. You have to strike out on your own, for better or worse.
Mary Beard
171
Overnight successes are generally years in the making. And most progress is made in isolation, far from the public eye.
Andrew Yang
172
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert Camus
173
Since September 11, 2001, the powerful coalition of nations, led by the United States, has seen many successes against al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups. It is imperative that we remain united and steadfast in the quest to defeat terrorism around the world.
Kenny Marchant
174
The sooner you accept the fact that you will have both successes and failures, the easier it will be to get your business and personal life headed in the right direction.
Harvey Mackay
175
I would encourage anyone to keep a pad of post-it notes by their bed and write down small, achievable goals and celebrate those successes and that will give you confidence to create bigger ones and achieve them.
Katie Piper
176
As with early internet startups, some token models don’t make sense. For every 1 huge hit, there will be 3 minor successes and 100 failures, so we shouldn’t be surprised when some fail.
Fred Ehrsam
177
I have the most eclectic audience – I’ve got gay, I’ve got straight, black, white, rich, poor, young, old, in 45 countries. And they don’t all come because I’m the Sinatra kid, though that’s a big part of it. My biggest successes have come from pop songs that I write myself.
Michael Buble
178
If you don’t mark your successes, the day your ship comes in could be just another day at the office, and there’s no poetry in that.
Glen Hansard
179
I never look at it as if any of my successes were given to me through fate. Getting record deals, making the songs I’ve made, having fans and working with the people I work with aren’t chance. I know that dedication and work have gotten me to where I am and will get me to where I wanna go.
Vic Mensa
180
My stage successes have provided me with the greatest moments outside myself, my film successes the best moments, professionally, within myself.
Laurence Olivier
181
See, me, I don’t run away. During my successes or my failures, I put it on me.
Fat Joe
182
Despite the successes, you remember the failures – rather lovingly.
Harold Prince
183
In certain businesses, I would say 10 failures to one success is a perfectly acceptable ratio. Because the failures die pretty quickly, they’re not that expensive, and the successes can be really huge.
Tim Harford
184
I somewhat joke that I know an awful lot because I learn from my mistakes. I just make a lot of mistakes. It’s OK to fail in science just as long as you have the successes to go with the failures.
Craig Venter
185
You find that all men are successes or failures. Success is the stamp of truth. I will say all men who fail to place their feet on the dome of facts do so by not sieving all truth and throwing the faulty to one side.
Andrew Taylor Still
186
Share your IoT experiences. Share your successes, best practices, and failures. We know that IoT doesn’t work perfectly every time, but we can learn from each other’s mistakes and vow not to repeat them.
Maciej Kranz
187
When I look back on my life, I overpaid for my big successes every time. And when I tried to get a bargain, get it a little cheaper or get a better deal on it, I ended up usually either getting it and not happy I got it. Or missing it.
Jerry Jones
188
We never taste happiness in perfection, our most fortunate successes are mixed with sadness.
Pierre Corneille
189
Tory plans to cut ‘further and faster’ would wreck recovery and roll back Labour’s many successes.
Alistair Darling
190
The year 2015 was a year of gigantic struggle, which is adorned with meaningful events and eye-opening successes, a year of victory and glory, in which socialist Korea fully demonstrated its prestige and might.
Kim Jong-un
191
I’m motivated by very small successes.
Beth Brooke
192
Our worldly successes cannot be guaranteed, but our ability to achieve spiritual success is entirely up to us, thanks to the grace of God. The best advice I know is to give is to give those worldly things your best but never your all – reserve the ultimate hope for the only one who can grant it.
Mitt Romney
193
I have celebrated major successes with Germany on the pitch, but not only that, I have experienced so much off the pitch too, visiting countries and cities all over the world.
Lukas Podolski
194
I’ve had some unbelievable successes, and I’ve also learned painful lessons through failures so low I can hardly stand to think of them.
Shaun King
195
A number of analysts have observed that although bin Laden was finally killed, he won some major successes in his war against the U.S.
Noam Chomsky
196
I had had some successes in the ’90s, always made money, but the truth was I was like a man pushing a boulder up a hill. A huge, heavy, difficult boulder made up of some career mistakes, projects that didn’t meet expectations, and twenty years of being a known quantity.
Rob Lowe
197
I feel like I’ve had so many successes on so many levels, even if it is just my relationships with my friends.
Andie MacDowell
198
I’ve probably failed more often than anybody else in Silicon Valley. Those don’t matter. I don’t remember the failures. You remember the big successes.
Vinod Khosla
199
The German export successes are not the result of some sort of currency manipulation, but of the increased competitiveness of companies. The American growth model, on the other hand, is in a deep crisis.
Wolfgang Schauble
200
I don’t define myself by my successes. I define myself by adversity and how I’ve persevered.
