3 December 2020 Michael Savage Don’t take too much comfort in the fact that you’re successful today because tomorrow could bring failure. There’s no surety in life.

3 December 2020 Michael Ramsey Ken Lay has, does and will continue to accept responsibility for the fall of Enron. He was the man at the controls. But failure is not a crime.

3 December 2020 Bryce Dallas Howard I’ve learned to think in terms of having a long career. Actors can have very long careers that last until the day we die, but there will be moments when you’ll feel like you’re a failure or when you’re disappointed in yourself.
3 December 2020 Mike Krzyzewski In high school, in sport, I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was, and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure.
