Top Afraid Of Failure Quotes

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Sheryl Sandberg

What helped him build resilience the most, he told me, was overcoming pervasiveness: "Extreme compartmentalization may be my biggest superpower," he said, laughing. If a project doesn't turn out the way he wanted, Byron remembers that things could always be worse. "I say to myself and to others all the time, 'Is anyone gonna die?' That's the worst - I'm not afraid of failure." Byron — Sheryl Sandberg

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Jimmy Carter

Our Center would be nonpartisan; we would be as innovative as possible, not duplicating or competing with other organizations that were addressing issues successfully; we would not be afraid of possible failure if our goals were worthwhile; and we would operate always with a balanced budget. The — Jimmy Carter

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Brooks Atkinson

This nation was built by men who took risks-pioneers who were not afraid of the wilderness, businessmen who were not afraid of failure, scientists who were not afraid of the truth, thinkers who were not afraid of progress, dreamers who were not afraid of action. — Brooks Atkinson

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Ursula K. Le Guin

Because you are human beings you are going to meet failure. You are going to meet disappointment, injustice, betrayal, and irreparable loss. You will find you're weak where you thought yourself strong. You'll work for possessions and then find they possess you. You will find yourself - as I know you already have - in dark places, alone, and afraid.

What I hope for you, for all my sisters and daughters, brothers and sons, is that you will be able to live there, in the dark place. To live in the place that our rationalizing culture of success denies, calling it a place of exile, uninhabitable, foreign.

From "A Left-Handed Commencement Address," Mills College 1983 — Ursula K. Le Guin

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Anna Quindlen

I'm sure not afraid of success and I've learned not to be afraid of failure. The only thing I'm afraid of now is of being someone I don't like much. — Anna Quindlen

We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. — Trevor Noah

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Reshma Saujani

Don't be afraid of failure. That's not an easy lesson for teenagers - especially teenage girls - to learn. Our society sends us a lot of messages that imply we're supposed to be ashamed when we fall short. But I think we should be throwing each other failure parties! — Reshma Saujani

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Henry David Thoreau

I have thoroughly tried school-keeping, and found that my expenses were in proportion, or rather out of proportion, to my income,for I was obliged to dress and train, not to say think and believe, accordingly, and I lost my time into the bargain. As I did not teach for the good of my fellow-men, but simply for a livelihood, this was a failure. I have tried trade; but I found that it would take ten years to get under way in that, and that then I should probably be on my way to the devil. I was actually afraid that I might by that time be doing what is called a good business. — Henry David Thoreau

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Robert Downey Jr.

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Aimee Mullins

Everyone is really afraid of getting out there and not being good. That's the challenge: To be afraid and know people are staring at you and know you might not do all that well, but you do it anyway. What singles out the successful athlete from the ones who never make it past a plateau, it that successful athletes risk failure, even though they are terrified. — Aimee Mullins

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Michael Harris

The word"boundaries" often relates directly to the word fear. In other words, we often limit ourselves from going beyond the"norm" because we think of it as being"risky" or because we're afraid of failure. It's easy to settle for average or normal. That's why the majority of us do! — Michael Harris

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Robert Kiyosaki

Failure inspires winners. And failure defeats losers. It is the biggest secret of winners. It's the secret that loser do not know. The greatest secret of winners is that failure inspires winning; thus, they're not afraid of losing. — Robert Kiyosaki

Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success. — Robert T. Kiyosaki

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Francis Chan

Sometimes we shrink from leadership because our pride makes us afraid of failure. That's not humility. — Francis Chan

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Jorge Valdano

I'm more afraid of success than failure. Success makes us so sure of ourselves that we do not analyze the factors that lead us to our success. Instead, in failure there's an error that lurks that makes us reflect and in that process there is learning and that makes us better — Jorge Valdano

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Brandon Sanderson

He was afraid of stepping up, of becoming everything he could be - not because the powers themselves frightened him. But because if he tried, then the failure was far, far worse. At — Brandon Sanderson

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By David C. Walters

Never be afraid of failure. Failure teaches you how to be successful. — David C. Walters

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Marion Zimmer Bradley

You speak of being afraid. Yet fear is something you generate in yourself, from your mind's lack of control; and you will learn to look at it and discover for yourself when you choose to be afraid. The first thing you must do is acknowledge that the fear is yours, and you can bid it come and go at will. Begin with this; whenever you feel fear that prevents choice say to yourself: 'What has made me feel fear? Why have I chosen to feel this fear preventing my choice, instead of feeling the freedom to choose?' Fear is a way of not allowing yourself to choose freely what you will do next; a way of letting your body's reflexes, not the needs of your mind, choose for you ... [Y]ou have chosen to do nothing, so that none of the things you fear will come upon you; so your choices are not made by you but by your fear ... I cannot promise to free you of your fear, only that a time will come when you are the master, and fear will not paralyze you. — Marion Zimmer Bradley

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Bernie Siegel

What a shame to be so afraid of failure that you stop living. My wife has a great one-liner about failure: "Never consider yourself a failure-you can always serve as a bad example." She is right. Failure can be a better teacher than success. — Bernie Siegel

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Pat Barker

Colin was beginning to be afraid( ... )of the future, of the possibility, suddenly glimpsed, that his life might end like this. Like most young people, he'd always assumed, without ever really thinking about it, that regret, waste, failure lay in wait for others, but not for him. Now( ... )he realized, for the first time, that he was not exempt, that this, unless he took steps to avoid it, could happen to him. — Pat Barker

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Chanakya

Once you start a working on something, don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest. — Chanakya

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Sarah Vowell

I talk about going to [George W. Bush's] Inauguration and crying
when he took the oath, 'cause I was so afraid he was going to
wreck the economy and muck up the drinking water' ... the failure of
my pessimistic imagination at that moment boggles my mind now. — Sarah Vowell

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Marisha Pessl

I'm not afraid of total failure. In the end, we're all just food for worms, so what are we so worried about? — Marisha Pessl

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Malcolm X

Children have a lesson adults should learn, to not be ashamed of failing, but to get up and try again. Most of us adults are so afraid, so cautious, so 'safe,' and therefore so shrinking and rigid and afraid that it is why so many humans fail. Most middle-aged adults have resigned themselves to failure. — Malcolm X

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Edgar A. Guest

You can do as much as you think you can,
But you'll never accomplish more;
If you're afraid of yourself, young man,
There's little for you in store.
For failure comes from the inside first,
It's there, if we only knew it,
And you can win, though you face the worst,
If you feel that you're going to do it. — Edgar A. Guest

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Jon Oringer

You can't be afraid of the problem. Don't be afraid of failure; don't be afraid to make mistakes. Make sure you learn from each step; iterate, and stay as efficient as possible without being paralyzed by a difficult situation. — Jon Oringer

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Jennifer Westfeldt

Don't be too afraid of failure to learn what you need to learn. — Jennifer Westfeldt

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Amy Tan

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Pope Francis

But always think this: do not be afraid of failure. Do not be afraid of falling. In the art of walking, what is important is not avoiding the fall but not remaining fallen. — Pope Francis

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Maude Adams

Don't be afraid of failure; be afraid of petty success. — Maude Adams

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Philip Pullman

... And here it is: You don't win races by wishing, you win them by running faster than everyone else. And to do that you have to train hard and strive your utmost, and sometimes even that isn't enough, because another runner just might be more talented than you are. Here's the truth: If you want something, you can have it, but only if you want everything that goes with it, including all the hard work and the despair, and only if you're willing to risk failure. That's the problem with Karl: He was afraid of failing, so he never really tried. — Philip Pullman

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Karan Mahajan

There was a contradiction within Vikas, an open wound: though he was fascinated by the poor, good at joshing with them, he was afraid, thanks to his bourgeois background, of being perceived as poor. Poverty equaled failure. — Karan Mahajan

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Robert Cheeke

Most people are afraid to follow their dreams. The thought of failure is too much for them to handle so they never even try to achieve them. — Robert Cheeke

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Seth Godin

People are not afraid of failure, they're afraid of blame. — Seth Godin

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Simon Sinek

Cowards ... cling to the hope that failure will never happen and may be sloppy in the face of danger - not because they don't acknowledge that it exists, but because they are just too afraid of it to look it in the eye. — Simon Sinek

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Joan Anderson

Why am I more cautious as I age instead of the other way around? I wonder if it's all tied in to failure. I tend to forget my gains and remember only the losses. The failures have piled up, wreaking havoc with my confidence until, as an adult, I've become afraid to take chances. — Joan Anderson

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Mario Andretti

If you're so afraid of failure, you will never succeed. You have to take chances. — Mario Andretti

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Robert T. Kiyosaki

We learn the most about ourselves when we fail, so don't be afraid of failing. Failing is part of the process of success. You can't have success without failure. — Robert T. Kiyosaki

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Debra Winger

I was never afraid of failure after that because, I think, coming that close to death you get kissed. With the years, the actual experience of course fades, but the flavor of it doesn't. I just had a real sense of what choice do I have but to live fully? — Debra Winger

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Nastia Liukin

If you are afraid of failure, you don't deserve success. — Nastia Liukin

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Jaci Burton

At first I thought it was a fear of failure. Now I think you're afraid to succeed. — Jaci Burton

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Andy Weir

Here's a woman who had survived the centrifuge, the vomit comet, hard-landing drills and 10k runs. A woman who fixed a simulated MDV computer failure while being spun around upside-down. But she was afraid of a tattoo needle. — Andy Weir

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Sandra Bullock

I was afraid of being a failure, of not having the best time or of being chicken. But every year I get older I think, What was I fearing last year?' You forget. And then you move on. — Sandra Bullock

I don't want to be afraid of bright colors, or new sounds, or big love, or risky decisions, or strange experiences, or weird endeavors, or sudden changes, or even failure. — Elizabeth Gilbert

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Wendy Wunder

It's like being dropped into a black hole. A vacuum of existence. When I turn around, I will be instantly orphaned because I'll know no one can hack it. And no one is in charge. But it's worse than being orphaned because at the same time I am tethered to his failure. His problems are tied around my heart. I will never get away. I am afraid. But I turn around. — Wendy Wunder

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Walt Disney Company

I think it's important to have a good hard failure when you're young. I learned a lot out of that. Because it makes you kind of aware of what can happen to you. Because of it I've never had any fear in my whole life when we've been near collapse and all of that. I've never been afraid. I've never had the feeling I couldn't walk out and get a job doing something. — Walt Disney Company

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Kimberly Giles

It is important you understand how fear affects you and how it drives human behavior so you can start to see situations and people accurately and respond more appropriately. When someone is behaving badly, attacking you, or being defensive, critical, or judgmental, it is not really about you. Fear is the real reason people behave badly. Their fears make them selfish, defensive, mean, and grouchy. Every time someone is behaving badly, step back and ask yourself, "What is this person afraid of? What fear inside me is driving my reaction to their attack? What am I afraid of?"
When you can accurately see the fear behind their behavior, and yours, you will see the situation for what it really is. — Kimberly Giles

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Robert Kiyosaki

The greatest secret of winners is that failure inspires winning; thus, they are not afraid of losing. — Robert Kiyosaki

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Paul Heyman

You cannot achieve success without the risk of failure. And I learned a long time ago, you cannot achieve success, if you fear failure. If you're not afraid to fail, man, you have a chance to succeed. But you're never gonna get there unless you risk it, all the way. I'll risk failure. Sometimes, half the fun is failing. Learning from your mistakes, waking up the next morning, and saying 'Okay. Watch out. Here I come again. A little bit smarter, licking my wounds, and really not looking forward to getting my ass kicked the way I just did yesterday.' So now, I'm just a little more dangerous. — Paul Heyman

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Jonathan Anthony Burkett

Today is the day I stand tall, strong, and mighty to tell the world who I am. — Jonathan Anthony Burkett

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Mandy Moore

I can plunk out enough chords to write a song, but I'm completely afraid to play guitar in front of other people. It's a fear of failure, I guess. — Mandy Moore

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Charlotte Eriksson

I've been trying to stay real
and true and proud of who I am,
all those ideals of how to look
I've been trying not to care.

But I'm still holding my breath,
I 'm still watching every step.
I'm still tip-toeing away,
when I'm getting to ashamed of myself.

I don't want to be your letdown,
I'm scared like hell I'm not enough.
I don't wanna be
your failure anymore.
- The Glass Child, Letdown — Charlotte Eriksson

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Spencer Johnson

What would you do if you were not afraid ? — Spencer Johnson

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Michka Assayas

Bono: But you write. Why do you write?
Michka: well, because I'm unable to express things in another way. I often believe that the words that come out of my mouth are not the ones I should be using. I can't cut things loose unless I'm really sure about them.
It's good, but sometimes it's an excuse.
Bono: That's often an excuse. You have to dare to fail. I think that's the big one: fear of failure. I've never had a fear of failure. Isn't that mad?
Michka: that's the maddest thing, but at the same time I think that's the secret. Because you've never been afraid of making a fool of yourself, you've never been afraid of looking ridiculous. — Michka Assayas

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Ed Catmull

Left to their own devices, most people don't want to fail. But Andrew Stanton isn't most people. As I've mentioned, he's known around Pixar for repeating the phrases "fail early and fail fast" and "be wrong as fast as you can." He thinks of failure like learning to ride a bike; it isn't conceivable that you would learn to do this without making mistakes - without toppling over a few times. "Get a bike that's as low to the ground as you can find, put on elbow and knee pads so you're not afraid of falling, and go," he says. If you apply this mindset to everything new you attempt, you can begin to subvert the negative connotation associated with making mistakes. Says Andrew: "You wouldn't say to somebody who is first learning to play the guitar, 'You better think really hard about where you put your fingers on the guitar neck before you strum, because you only get to strum once, and that's it. And if you get that wrong, we're going to move on.' That's no way to learn, is it? — Ed Catmull

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Robert Greene

Think of it this way: There are two kinds of failure. The first comes from never trying out your ideas because you are afraid, or because you are waiting for the perfect time. This kind of failure you can never learn from, and such timidity will destroy you. The second kind comes from a bold and venturesome spirit. If you fail in this way, the hit that you take to your reputation is greatly outweighed by what you learn. Repeated failure will toughen your spirit and show you with absolute clarity how things must be done. — Robert Greene

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Osho

If you are a parent, you will need enough courage not to interfere. Open doors of unknown directions to the child, so he can explore. He does not know what he has in him, nobody knows. He has to grope in the dark. Don't make him afraid of darkness, don't make him afraid of failure, don't make him afraid of the unknown. Give him support. When he is going on an unknown journey, send him on with all your support, with all your love, with all your blessings. Don't let him be affected by your fears. You may have fears, but keep them to yourself. Don't unload those fears on the child because that will be interfering. — Osho

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Robert Kiyosaki

Success is a poor teacher. We learn the most about ourselves when we fail, so don't be afraid of failing. Failing is part of the process of success. You cannot have success without failure. — Robert Kiyosaki

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Debbie Allen

Failure: Is it a limitation? Bad timing? It's a lot of things. It's something you can't be afraid of, because you'll stop growing. The next step beyond failure could be your biggest success in life. — Debbie Allen

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Niklas Zennstrom

You shouldn't be afraid of failure - when something fails, you think, 'What did I learn from that experience? I can do better next time.' Then kill that project and move on to the next. Don't get disappointed. — Niklas Zennstrom

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Stella Chess

Adolescents may be, almost simultaneously, overconfident and riddled with fear. They are afraid of their overpowering feelings, oflosing control, of helplessness, of failure. Sometimes they act bold, to counteract their imperious yearnings to remain children. They are impulsive, impetuous, moody, disagreeable, overdemanding, underappreciative. If you don't understand them, remember, they don't understand themselves most of the time. — Stella Chess

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Mark Weber

To be strong enough to know when you are weak, brave enough to face yourself when you are afraid.

Not to seek the path of comfort, but to face the stress and spur of the difficulty and challenge.

Not to substitute words for actions.

To be proud and unbending in honest failure but humble and gentle in success.

To seek out and experience a vigor of the emotions, a freshness of the deep springs of lift, an appetite of adventure over love of ease.

To seek a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination and to exercise a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity.

To be modest so that you will appreciate the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength.

To be serious, yet never to take yourself too seriously; to cry, but also to laugh.

To discover the sense of wonder, the unfailing hope of what is next, and the joy and inspiration of life. — Mark Weber

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Seth Godin

What people are afraid of isn't failure. It's blame. Criticism. — Seth Godin

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Joban Singh Bal

If you are afraid to fail, then you are afraid to succeed. You can never succeed of you have not failed. — Joban Singh Bal

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Rhonda Britten

We are afraid of failure, of ridicule, of being rejected. We are afraid we're not good enough. — Rhonda Britten

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Richard Branson

When something doesn't go exactly to plan, money is tight or a business is struggling - see it as a challenge rather than a failure. Look outside the box and try and find a solution - you'll be surprised how many great opportunities and possibilities arise when things look bad. You've just got to open your mind and not be afraid of sticking your neck out! — Richard Branson

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Steve Pavlina

Fail your way forward. Recognize that Ready, fire, aim is superior to ready, aim, aim, aim. Straightforward trial and error produces better results than endless vacillating. If you're afraid to make decisions and act on them in the face of ambiguity and uncertainty, get a job. Failure's lessons are essential to success. — Steve Pavlina

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Mohammed Sekouty

Coward people are afraid of failure & Failure is afraid of brave people — Mohammed Sekouty

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Kimberly Giles

You are afraid you aren't good enough, when your value is infinite and absolute and not on the line. You are afraid of loss and not getting the life you wanted, when your journey is always the perfect classroom journey for you. In reality there is no failure and there is no loss (except the losses you are meant to experience so that you can grow). — Kimberly Giles

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By LeBron James

Don't be afraid of failure. This is the way to succeed. — LeBron James

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Stephen Curry

I'm not the guy who's afraid of failure. I like to take risks, take the big shot and all that. — Stephen Curry

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Pete Sampras

Choking is being in a position to win, and then experiencing some critical failure of nerve or spirit. That never happened to me. And I can't help but think it was because I was never afraid to lose. — Pete Sampras

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Shana Norris

The only person who can make you miserable is yourself, if you hold back because
you're too afraid of failure to take a chance. — Shana Norris

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Paulo Coelho

I'm afraid of committing myself," she thought to herself.

"When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way."

"Don't bother trying to explain your emotions. Live everything as intensely as you can and keep whatever you felt as a gift from God. The best way to destroy the bridge between the visible and invisible is by trying to explain your emotions."

"But how will I know who my Soulmate is?" Brida felt that this was one of the most important questions she had ever asked in her life.
"By taking risks" she said to Brida. ' By risking failure, disappointment, disillusion, but never ceasing in you search for Love. As long as you keep looking, you will triumph in the end."

Nothing is completely wrong. Even a broken watch is right twice a day. — Paulo Coelho

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Elizabeth Goudge

He had left a certain mode of life and chosen another and between that life and this a river ran, as impassable as the river of death. And now he wanted to get back madly, desperately, but he couldn't, not even though he knew that the river was nothing but the inhibitions of his own mind ... A normal man who has lived utterly alone for a long time ceases to be normal. A solitary who has cut himself off from human contact comes to have a terror of his fellow humans. A coward who had abandoned all responsibility is afraid to shoulder it again. A failure cannot trust to success. A sufferer who has been broken by life dare not be friends with it again ... It was only his own mind that kept him back but a man's mind can be his greatest friend or his greatest enemy, according as it serves or binds his will, and his was his enemy. Its terrors controlled him. He was bound hand and foot by his own weakness. It was no use. He was a good as dead. I cannot get back. — Elizabeth Goudge

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Marsha L. Larsen

The other thing that's happened with writing is that I'm not afraid it will go away. Up until a couple of years ago, I feared that sitting down with paper and pencil revealed too much desire and that for such ambition I would be punished. My vocabulary would contract anorexia, ideas would be born autistic, even titles would not come to flirt with me anymore. I suppose this was tied to that internal judge, the serpent who eats her own tail. She insinuates you're not good enough; you believe her and try less, ratifying her assessment; so you try even less; and on and on. This snake survives on your dying. Finally, now, the elided words of my wisest writing teacher, the poet David Wojahn, make sense. "Be ambitious," he said, "for the work." Not for the in-dwelling editor. That bitch was impossible to please anyway. — Marsha L. Larsen

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Tiffanie DeBartolo

I'm afraid of everything. Fear of being alone, fear of being hurt, fear of being made a fool of, fear of failure ... Still, I think all my fears bleed from one big one ... — Tiffanie DeBartolo

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Doreen Virtue

Never be afraid of failure or disappointment, because those are just temporary experiences on the path to your dreams coming true — Doreen Virtue

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Gordy Ainsleigh

When you're afraid of failure you're more likely to do it. — Gordy Ainsleigh

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Jay-Z

This is why we shouldn't be afraid. There are two possibilities: One is that there's more to life than the physical life, that our souls "will find an even higher place to dwell" when this life is over. If that's true, there's no reason to fear failure or death. The other possibility is that this life is all there is. And if that's true, then we have to really live it - we have to take it for everything it has and "die enormous" instead of "living dormant," as I said way back on "Can I Live." Either way, fear is a waste of time. — Jay-Z

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Eric Ries

I can't say I'm not grateful to have journalists writing about me as a genius. But I know it's not true. I'm not confused. I understand that success comes through a lot of failure and a lot of very embarrassing failure. People want to create the next Facebook, but they are too afraid to create the next Facemash. — Eric Ries

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By David Marusek

... I tell you that loneliness itself is the secret. It's a secret you cannot tell anyone. Why?
Because to confess your loneliness is to confess your failure as a human being. To confess would only cause others to pity and avoid you, afraid that what you have is catching. Your condition is caused by a lack of human relationship, and yet to admit to it only drives your possible rescuers farther away (while attracting cats).
So you attempt to hide your loneliness in public, to behave, in fact, as though you have too many friends already, and thus you hope to attract people who will unwittingly save you. But it never works that way. Your condition is written all over your face, in the hunch of your shoulders, in the hollowness of your laugh. You fool no one.
Believe me in this; I've tried all the tricks of the lonely man. — David Marusek

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Anne Baxter

I wasn't afraid to fail. Something good always comes out of failure. — Anne Baxter

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Mohammed Sekouty

People without a will are afraid of failure and failure is afraid of people with a will — Mohammed Sekouty

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Thomas Merton

The point where you become free not to kill, not to exploit, not to destroy, not to compete, because you are no longer afraid of death or the devil or poverty or failure. If you discover this nakedness, you'd better keep it private. People don't like it. — Thomas Merton

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Ann H. Gabhart

Even when the divorce papers had come in the mail, even when he'd finally signed them, he'd still felt married, still felt as if he had to be faithful to those vows even though they were empty and meaningless now. Perhaps that was just because he was afraid of moving past those vows, afraid of starting over. So now he looked straight into the eyes of that fear. The fear of being hurt again. The fear of not being worthy of a woman's love. The fear of failure. — Ann H. Gabhart

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Eleanor Roosevelt

Looking back I see that I was always afraid of something: of the dark, of displeasing people, of failure. Anything I accomplished had to be done across a barrier of fear. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT — Eleanor Roosevelt

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By John Wooden

Don't be afraid to fail. The greatest failure of all is not to act when action is needed. — John Wooden

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Marianne Williamson

We are more afraid of excellence than of failure. — Marianne Williamson

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Soichiro Honda

Instead of being afraid of the challenge and failure, be afraid of avoiding the challenge and doing nothing — Soichiro Honda

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By John Wooden

The person who is afraid to risk failure seldom has to face success. I expected my players to make mistakes, as long as they were mistakes of commission. A mistake of commission happens when you are doing what should be done but don't get the results you want. — John Wooden

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Gabrielle Union

You get so afraid of failure and so afraid of losing and so afraid of not being the best that it's not a natural drive - it's born out of fear of failure. Which helps in Hollywood. — Gabrielle Union

Afraid Of Failure Quotes By Edwin Land

An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail. — Edwin Land
