Do not bring me your successes; they weaken me. Bring me your problems; they strengthen me.

The opportunities in this world are as great as we have the imagination to see them... but we never get that view from the bottom of the nest.

The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress.

We need to teach the highly educated man that it is not a disgrace to fail and that he must analyze every failure to find its cause. He must learn how to fail intelligently, for failing is one of the greatest arts in the world.

Every great improvement has come after repeated failures. Virtually nothing comes out right the first time. Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.

I object to people running down the future. I am going to live all the rest of my life there.

No one would have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in the storm.
