Go	on	failing.	Go	on.	Only	next	time,	try	to	fail	better.

         —Samuel	Beckett,	novelist,	playwright,	theatre	director,	and	poet	

All	my	successes	have	been	built	on	my	failures.

         —Benjamin	Disraeli,	British	prime	minister	and	writer

We	never	claim	that	our	approach	is	the	right	one—just	that	it’s	ours—and	over
the	 last	 two	 decades,	 we’ve	 collected	 a	 large	 group	 of	 like-minded	 people….
One	 area	 where	 I	 think	 we	 are	 especially	 distinctive	 is	 failure.	 I	 believe	 we	 are
the	 best	 place	 in	 the	 world	 to	 fail	 (we	 have	 plenty	 of	 practice!),	 and	 failure	 and
invention	are	inseparable	twins.

         —Jeff	Bezos,	founder	of	Amazon.com

Don’t	fear	failure	so	much	that	you	refuse	to	try	new	things.

         —Louis	Boone,	author

None	of	us	can	be	free	of	conflict	and	woe.	Even	the	greatest	men	have	to	accept
disappointments	as	their	daily	bread….	The	art	of	living	lies	less	in	eliminating
our	troubles	than	in	growing	with	them.

         —Bernard	Baruch,	financier,	stock	investor,	philanthropist,	and	statesman	A	failure	establishes	only
            this:	that	our	determination	to	succeed	was	not	strong	enough.
