In studying the stories of the most outstanding men and women of all of history, we find that every single one of them has been a great failure. It is impossible to succeed without failing; failure is an indispensable prerequisite for success, and all great success is proceeded by great failure.

The only difference is that the winners continually pick themselves up and carry on knowing that ultimate success is inevitable as long as they keep on going on.”
