“THE FOUR HEAVENLY FOUNTAINS


Laugh, I tell you
And you will turn back
The hands of time.

Smile, I tell you
And you will reflect
The face of the divine.

Sing, I tell you
And all the angels will sing with you!

Cry, I tell you
And the reflections found in your pool of tears -
Will remind you of the lessons of today and yesterday
To guide you through the fears of tomorrow.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Sometimes, when we want something so badly, we fear failure more than we fear being without that thing.”
― Matthew J. Kirby, Icefall

“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

“Comparing what we're looking for misses the point. It's wanting to know that makes us matter. Otherwise we're going out the way we came in. That's why you can't believe in the afterlife, Valentine. Believe in the after, by all means, but not the life. Believe in God, the soul, the spirit, the infinite, believe in angels if you like, but not in the great celestial get-together for an exchange of views. If the answers are in the back of the book I can wait, but what a drag. Better to struggle on knowing that failure is final.”
― Tom Stoppard, Arcadia

“All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the base of our splendid failure to do the impossible.”
― William Faulkner

“The only walls that exist are those you have placed in your mind. And whatever obstacles you conceive, exist only because you have forgotten what you have already achieved.”

“If life throws you a few bad notes or vibrations, don't let them interrupt or alter your song.”

“She always wanted to be the kind of person who could play the "Moonlight" Sonata.

She buries her failure in this, as she buries all her failures, in reading.”
― Lauren Groff, Florida

“Son, a real battlefield lacks dignity and honor. When lives are being spent—actual human lives—those high-minded concepts lose their meaning. All that matters is victory. If you have blades, you’ll use blades. If you have rocks, you’ll use rocks. If there’s nothing but sand, you’ll throw the damn sand. A true war is only waged when men don’t want to live to see what failure looks like. You do what it takes to win. You go wherever necessity takes you.”
― B. Justin Shier, Zero Sum

“How we feel is not who we are. We might feel like failures, but as long as we are still trying, we are not failures. We are works in progress.”
― Toni Sorenson

“When we fail, our pride supports us, and when we succeed it betrays us.”
― Charles Colton

“Isana felt her throat tighten.
"We failed." Serai lifted her chin and patted Isana's arm firmly.

― Brandon Sanderson, Warbreaker

We told ourselves we had forever and we never looked back. The problem was that we never really looked ahead.”

― Chris Bradford, The Ring of Earth

“When you’re still too young to shave, optimism is a perfectly legitimate response to failure.”
― Stephen king, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“How much you can learn when you fail determines how far you will go into achieving your goals.”
― Roy Bennett

“Los Angeles is a town where status is all and status is only given to success. Dukes and millionaires and playboys by the dozen may arrive and be glad-handed for a time, but they are unwise if they choose to live there because the town is, perhaps even creditably, committed to recognising only professional success, and nothing else, to be of lasting value. The burdensome obligation imposed on all its inhabitants is therefore to present themselves as successes, because otherwise they forfeit their right to respect in that environment ... There is no place in that town for the "interesting failure" or for anyone who is not determined on a life that will be shaped in a upward-heading curve.”
― Julian Fellowes, Past Imperfect

“When we give ourselves permission to fail..we at the same time, give ourselves permission to excel.”
― Eloise Ristad

“Before you were born, and were still too tiny for the human eye to see, you won the race for life from among 250 million competitors. And yet, how fast you have forgotten your strength, when your very existence is proof of your greatness.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Most of what I know

I've learned from falling,
from placing the brighter side
of my hands against the earth
and pressing until vertical.

The ground has taught me
more about flight

than the sky ever could.”

― Ogwo David Emenike, The Fortune in Failing: Decoding the Message of Failure

“challenges; the great wall between those who stand and those who fall”
― Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

“Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.”
― Og Mandino

“Know that tomorrow will bring clarity where before was only fog. In the final summation, it is not other's expectations that slay us, but our over compensatory reactions in regard”
― C.B. Smith

“I haven't failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work.”
― Thomas Jefferson

“I knew I was putting you under immense pressure when I rejected your work the other day. I set an impossible deadline - yet you have met it with work that I can only call outstanding. As your teacher, I had to push you to your limits so that you could recognize your own true potential.”
