George S. Patton on failure

Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived.

I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is precisely why I succeed.

Michael Jordanborn 1963

Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Michael Jordanborn 1963

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
