35 great quotes about failure to bounce back and move forward.

A compilation of famous quotes that show us the positive side of mistakes.

Failure is an inherent part of life. Vital and optimistic people usually have challenges and goals to achieve, and as life sometimes does not make it easy for us, it is possible (and even desirable) that from time to time we fail to get our way and sign a more or less resounding failure.

We must keep in mind that it is not possible to achieve everything we set out to do. It is necessary to accept it. Developing this tolerance to frustration will allow us to get back on our feet in the face of failure and move forward with renewed energy.
