From triumph to failure is only one step.

I have seen in the most significant of circumstances, that some little thing always decides great events.

Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.

For optimists, defeat is a challenge, a mere setback on the road to inevitable victory.

Every epic collapse, the provost believed, could be traced back to a single moment — a chance meeting, a bad decision, an indiscreet glance.

There are 1,000 lessons in defeat but only one in victory.

The lines I’m referring to, Lewis, are that Triumph and Disaster are the same. They’re both impostors because they are momentary. More important is becoming a man of convictions. Lasting joy comes from that.

victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

Defeat is a momentary thing. A defeat doesn't last. We were defeated and now we attack. Defeat means nothing. Can't you understand that? Do you know what they are whispering behind doors?

What is defeat? Nothing but education; nothing but the first step to something better.

Every journey begins with a single step.

every failure is a step to success!

All great events hang by a single thread. The clever man takes advantage of everything, neglects nothing that may give him some added opportunity; the less clever man, by neglecting one thing, sometimes misses everything.

A hundred failures would not matter, when one single success could change the destiny of the world.
