Success Quotes "There is no success like failure, and failure is no success at all." There are so many good quotes about failure leading to success. I think the key is that when you fail, you don't quit, then you will have success. I heard a teacher of mine explain the secret to success, "Fail, fail, fail fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, succeed." It is often quoted by Thomas Edison, "10,000 failures are worth more than one success." And then one of my favorites, "For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:" I'd bet that most of these quotes are cross-cultural, and I'd also bet that most people know at least one quote regarding success.
