So many businesses today have wind-up because of fear of failing. ~ Godwin Elendu Ph.D
Fear Of Failing quotes by Godwin Elendu Ph.D
At 13, I was fearless. I looked at everything so positive. When you're older and been through it all, you know how bad it can get. There is a fear of failing. ~ Michelle Kwan
Fear Of Failing quotes by Michelle Kwan
The only people I have ever seen paint successfully, consistently, with great authority, unselfconsciously and without fear of failing were about four years old. ~ Brian Johnson
Fear Of Failing quotes by Brian Johnson
As you know from school, it's when you have not prepared for the test that you have the fear of failing. And if you have prepared, even if you fail, you've done your best. ~ Alice Walker
Fear Of Failing quotes by Alice Walker
Whatever it is I'm born to do, my fear of failing at it has almost become greater than my desire to figure out what it is. ~ Ann Kidd Taylor
Fear Of Failing quotes by Ann Kidd Taylor
I think, as an actor, it is good to feel the fear of failing miserably. I think you should take that risk. Fear is a necessary ingredient in everything I do. But if I do 'Hamlet,' it will probably be in a small theater on a small stage, and it will have to be very, very soon because I'm getting a little long in the tooth for it. ~ Johnny Depp
Fear Of Failing quotes by Johnny Depp
I am consumed with the fear of failing. Reaching deep down and finding confidence has made all my dreams come true. ~ Arsenio Hall
Fear Of Failing quotes by Arsenio Hall
In order to be able to make it, you have to put aside the fear of failing and the desire of succeeding. You have to do these things completely and purely without fear, without desire. Because things that we do without lust of result are the purest actions we shall ever take. ~ Alan Moore
Fear Of Failing quotes by Alan Moore
it's being branded a failure that causes the most pain; when 'failure' changes from being a verb to becoming a noun. ~ Anup Kochhar
Fear Of Failing quotes by Anup Kochhar
A failure is not one who has attempted and failed but one who has failed to attempt for fear of failing. ~ Chinonye J. Chidolue
Fear Of Failing quotes by Chinonye J. Chidolue
Whenever the occasional doubt starts to creep into my mind about my artistic ability, I start to think about the reality of having the greatest artist ever living inside of me. The One who created the orchid, peacock and the human circulatory system is the same God who gives me ideas for my next logo project. The God who parted the Red Sea is the same God who knows Photoshop. The God who raised Lazurus from the dead is the same God who brings new clients to me. He can do anything! If we want to talk about a fear of failing, we have to talk about being blessed to know the One who can do anything but fail. ~ V.L. Thompson
Fear Of Failing quotes by V.L. Thompson
there are things in our souls which we know not how much they mean to us. Or rather, if we live without them, it is because, either through fear of failing or suffering, we daily postpone the moment of coming under their thrall. ~ Marcel Proust
Fear Of Failing quotes by Marcel Proust
Quitting my day job and starting my life as a writer was a tremendous risk. It was a fool's leap, a shot in the dark. But anything of any value in our lives, whether that be a career, a work of art, a relationship, will always start with such a leap. And in order to be able to make it you have to put aside the fear of failing and the desire of succeeding. ( ... ) Because things that we do without lust of result are the purest actions that we shall ever take. ~ Alan Moore
Fear Of Failing quotes by Alan Moore
What does failure do to us? We fall into a vicious downward spiral. Failure is a lot like a shot from a double barrel gun but with a difference. The first shot is like the news which explodes in one's face. But it is the second, after a short time lag, which causes the most damage. It comprises of pain, humiliation, shame, frustration and anger. The first shot pales in comparison. It is life after the blast that causes the most hurt. ~ Anup Kochhar
Fear Of Failing quotes by Anup Kochhar
We are all afraid. That's the thing that unites all truly successful people: fear, fear of failing, fear of criticism, fear of letting down the team in some way. That why they try so hard, that's why they pay attention to detail and try to get every possible duck in a row. It's fear ~ Peggy Noonan
Fear Of Failing quotes by Peggy Noonan
Claritypoint: A fear-based philosophy about life (seeing life as a testing center) can prevent you from seeing yourself and situations accurately.- A fear of failing skews your perspective and distracts you from learning and loving. ~ Kimberly Giles
Fear Of Failing quotes by Kimberly Giles
So many times, people are afraid to start something because of fear of failing. But it can be fabulous - because it leads you to the next thing. ~ RuPaul
Fear Of Failing quotes by RuPaul
The scariest thing in my life is the first morning of production on all my movies. It's the fear of failing, the loss of face, and a sense of guilt that everybody puts their faith in you and not coming through. ~ Tony Scott
Fear Of Failing quotes by Tony Scott
The Fear of failure is the greatest fear of man. Even the fear of death is fear of failing to continue life. ~ Anup Kochhar
Fear Of Failing quotes by Anup Kochhar
Failure per se is not a disease but it can trigger anxiety, depression and even suicide. If failure can strike anyone, how can we handle it? Medical science has a well-defined mechanism in place for dealing with diseases – it identifies the symptoms and then prescribes a methodology for their management. Psychologists and Psychiatrists have management practices for dealing with anxiety and depression. But do we have a method for dealing with failure? ~ Anup Kochhar
Fear Of Failing quotes by Anup Kochhar
Because the I that barely flickers desires so achingly to be loved. Something in the person whose I has been pulled apart tells him -- even when he does not want to acknowledge it -- that only love can save his I, but the fear of love is always stronger than this awareness, and so he shoves that knowledge into oblivion or conquers it with an even greater fear. ~ Goce Smilevski
Fear Of Failing quotes by Goce Smilevski
I affirm myself to be a Lacanian, for fear of being convienced by others that I am not a Lacanian ~ Slavoj Zizek
Fear Of Failing quotes by Slavoj Zizek
However hard he tried, he could never manage to make himself visible to human eyes and not because he can't, since for him nothing is impossible, it's simply that he wouldn't know what face to wear when introducing himself to the beings he supposedly created and who probably wouldn't recognize him anyway. There are those who say we're very fortunate that god chooses not to appear before us, because compared with the shock we would get were such a thing to happen, our fear of death would be mere child's play. Besides, all the many things that have been said about god and about death are nothing but stories, and this is just another one. ~ Jose Saramago
Fear Of Failing quotes by Jose Saramago
Without fear there cannot be courage. ~ Christopher Paolini
Fear Of Failing quotes by Christopher Paolini
To acquire the full consciousness of self is to know oneself so different from others that no longer feels allied with men except by purely animal contacts: nevertheless, among souls of this degree, there is an ideal fraternity based on differences,
while society fraternity is based on resemblances.
The full consciousness of self can be called originality of soul, -and all this is said only to point out the group of rare beings to which Andre Gide belongs.
The misfortune of these beings, when they express themselves, is that they do it with such odd gestures that men fear to approach them; their life of social contacts must often revolve in the brief circle of ideal fraternities; or, when the mob consents to admit such souls, it is as curiosities or museum objects. Their glory is, finally, to be loved from afar & almost understood, as parchments are seen & read above sealed cases. ~ Remy De Gourmont
Fear Of Failing quotes by Remy De Gourmont
Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves ... ~ Cheryl Strayed
Fear Of Failing quotes by Cheryl Strayed
I am willing to overlook your intense personal insecurities for the moment in order to inform you that I will not be able to attend the dedication tomorrow night, as I have alternate plans.

I will elaborate no more, for fear of further fraternal wrath.

I like that, further fraternal wrath. Maybe I'll put that in my novel.

Fraternally yours, your faithful brother,

John ~ Meg Cabot
Fear Of Failing quotes by Meg Cabot
The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Fear Of Failing quotes by Winston S. Churchill
Hummingbird
Flitting, darting
A restless quest
To fuel a fire
That burns your breast
Seeking sweetness
For selfish glee
Bringing gifts
So heedlessly
Your touch a trigger
You fire life
Igniting beauty
In vibrant strife
To equal you
In colors bright
They dazzle, dumbfound
And delight
But in tableau
Their beauty ends
Enlivened only
By the wind
Whilst you with
Generous energy
Prove a lovely
Vibrant Persephone
Their season ends
Those blooms of spring
And hummingbird
On fragile wing
Too soon I fear
You will expire
Sweetness smolders
Consumed in fire. ~ Michael Sullivan
Fear Of Failing quotes by Michael Sullivan
My darling wife," he murmured softly, " 'tis probable that I shall be most heavily set upon within the next few moments. The front door, as solid as it is, cannot be properly defended, and they will come before long to ram it down. 'Twould please me much if you ... " Erienne's head was already shaking before he finished. Strangely she experienced no fright, no fear. She was in her home, and a grim determination lay beneath her composed exterior. "I will stay with you." She tapped the pistol with the tip of her finger and informed him bluntly, "The man who harms you will not live out the day. I will see to that." There was a level sternness in her gaze that made Christopher glad she was his wife and not a foe.
-Christopher & Erienne ~ Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
Fear Of Failing quotes by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
The wish to gain complete possession of somebody is expressed most plainly by jealousy. Jealousy is never a sign of love. It only indicates fear of not being able to hold another person. ~ Rudolf Dreikurs
Fear Of Failing quotes by Rudolf Dreikurs
"Sabbath is not primarily about us or how it benefits us; it is about God, and how God forms us. It is not, in the first place, about what we do or don't do; it is about God - completing and resting and blessing and sanctifying. These are all things that we don't know much about ... But it does mean stopping and being quiet long enough to see - open-mouthed - with wonder - resurrection wonder ... we cultivate the "fear of the Lord". Our souls are formed by what we cannot work up or take charge of. We respond and enter into what the resurrection of Jesus continues to do." ~ Eugene H. Peterson
Fear Of Failing quotes by Eugene H. Peterson
Henry hooked his legs on the branch and flipped over gingerly, until he was hanging upside-down, grinning at Vlad. Then Henry's grin slipped. He fell to the ground several feet below with a thump, crying out as his body made impact. Vlad shimmied down the tree as fast as he could. "Henry ! Are you okay?" Henry sat up, clutching his wounded knee. He looked very much like he was going to start crying any second. A small, thin line of blood oozed from the scrape on his knee. Vlad's tiny fangs shot from his gums. Henry's eyes went wide, his injury all but forgotten. "What are those?" Vlad's small shoulders sank. He'd let his dad down. "They're my fangs." "Vlad, are you a vampire or something?" Henry's eyes were big, and Vlad was certain he saw fear in them. Not as much fear as when Henry had been falling from the tree, but close. He took a deep breath, glancing at the house. Then he sat down in front of Henry and said, "Yeah, Henry. I'm a vampire. But it's a secret. A very, very, very big secret and you can't tell anyone ever. ~ Heather Brewer
Fear Of Failing quotes by Heather Brewer
If a man is to become fully himself - and this is not something that happens automatically just because you arrive at a particular age - he is going to have to give up some things in the process. Be it drugs, infidelity, childishness, lying, fear of intimacy, violence - none of these things contribute to being a man ~ Rod Stryker
Fear Of Failing quotes by Rod Stryker
As knowledge grew, fear decreased; men thought less of worshiping the unknown, and more of overcoming it. ~ Will Durant
Fear Of Failing quotes by Will Durant
Tits and cunts and legs and lips and mouths and tongues and assholes! How can I give up what I have never even had, for a girl, who delicious and provocative as once she may have been, will inevitably grow as familiar to me as a loaf of bread? For Love? What love? Is that what binds all these couples we know together - the ones who even bother to let themselves be bound? Isn't it something more like weakness? Isn't it rather convenience and apathy and guilt? Isn't it rather fear and exhaustion and inertia, gutlessness plain and simple, far far more than that "love" that the marriage counsellors and songwriters and psychotherapists are forever dreaming about? ~ Philip Roth
Fear Of Failing quotes by Philip Roth
There will always be enemies in life, and sometimes you can be your own worst enemy. The life I once lived was fueled with pain and hate. If I can give you two pieces of advice, it would be to not live in fear or anger, and to find the love of a good woman who accepts you for your faults, and because of her, you aspire to be a noble man who is worthy of love. ~ Dannika Dark
Fear Of Failing quotes by Dannika Dark
Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden! Spears shall be shaken,swords shall be splintered! A sword day ... a red day ... ere the sun rises! Ride now! ... Ride now! ... Ride! Ride to ruin and the world's ending! Death! "Death!" Death! "Death!" DEATH! "Death!" Forth, Eorlingas!! ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Fear Of Failing quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
You know, I think some people fear that if they like the wrong kind of book, it will reflect poorly on them. It can go with genre, too. Somebody will say, "I won't read science fiction, or I won't read young adult novels" - all of those genres can become prisons. I always find it funny when the serious literary world will make a little crack in its wall and allow in one pet genre writer and crown them and say, "Well Elmore Leonard is actually a real writer." Or "Stephen King is actually a really good writer." Generally speaking, you know you're being patronized when somebody uses the word "actually ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Fear Of Failing quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
The state of things and the dispositions of men were then such, that a man could not well tell whom he might trust or whom he might fear. ~ Thomas More
Fear Of Failing quotes by Thomas More
It's not a lack of confidence, because I can't argue with the fact that I've taken some good pictures. But it's just a raw fear that you've taken the last one. ~ Sally Mann
Fear Of Failing quotes by Sally Mann
Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Fear Of Failing quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
When our citizens are determined to openly wear pistols on their belts to go shopping at Walmart, that signifies to me a failure on the part of the macho ideal. Ostensibly, the handgun is displayed to let evildoers know, in no uncertain terms, that this is not a person with whom to trifle. It then follows that the wearing of the pistol presumes a situation in which the bearer will need to shoot someone, rendering the brandishing of the weapon a badge of fear, does it not? It occurs to me that if we keep on turning to such "masculine" methodology to solve our conflicts, the only inevitable ending is a bunch of somebody's family lying in a bloody schoolhouse, movie theater, or smoking Japanese city. I guess we just hope it's not our family? I don't like the odds. ~ Nick Offerman
Fear Of Failing quotes by Nick Offerman
[Isaiah] preached to the masses only in the sense that he preached publicly. Anyone who liked might listen; anyone who liked might pass by. He knew that the Remnant would listen; and knowing also that nothing was to be expected of the masses under any circumstances, he made no specific appeal to them, did not accommodate his message to their measure in any way, and did not care two straws whether they heeded it or not. As a modern publisher might put it, he was not worrying about circulation or about advertising. Hence, with all such obsessions quite out of the way, he was in a position to do his level best, without fear or favor, and answerable only to his august Boss. ~ Thomas E. Woods Jr.
Fear Of Failing quotes by Thomas E. Woods Jr.
A single scream erupted from the crowd. It was a sort of experimental sound, trying to decide if now, finally, fear was the correct response. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Fear Of Failing quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Fear is the enemy of success. ~ A.D. Posey
Fear Of Failing quotes by A.D. Posey
You're worried about getting things successfully done in order to attain some degree of self-worth. Your soul is for sale; You most likely deceive yourself in order to convince yourself. Letting go equals failing, isn't that right? And you forget outstandingly well, don't you? You forget that It takes admirable courage not only to try but also to gracefully give up. ~ Albert Camus
Fear Of Failing quotes by Albert Camus
The most zealous converters are always the most rancorous when they fail of producing conversion. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Fear Of Failing quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
By and large, the answer to the question "How do large institutions survive?" is "They don't!" The vast majority of large modern-day institutions some of them extremely vital to the functioning of our complex civilization simply fail to exist in the first place. ~ Eliezer Yudkowsky
Fear Of Failing quotes by Eliezer Yudkowsky
Ysteries I read for fun, so I will probably never write one, for fear of spoiling the fun. ~ Fred Saberhagen
Fear Of Failing quotes by Fred Saberhagen
Advice? Fail constantly. Because the word doesn't mean what you think it means, especially when you're an artist. I use the word artist to mean everything from songwriting to writing a novel to even writing video games. Anything that tells a story, which is almost any medium. Gotta take risks, you gotta go through multiple drafts which means you have to FAIL, a lot. So you won't always get the reaction you always want from every single person, so when you lose that fear of failure, when you stop even thinking of it as failure, and you push yourself farther, you'll take bigger risks, and eventually, after about six or seven hundred rejections, you'll find success. And you'll find a way of conveying what you really want to say, in the best manner. ~ Victor Giannini
Fear Of Failing quotes by Victor Giannini
You will not say how you are haunted by the faces of the men you killed, how in their last gasp of life they sought your pity and you had none. You will not speak of the boys who died screaming for their mothers while you twisted a blade in their guts and snarled your scorn into their ears. You will not confess that you wake in the night, covered in sweat, heart hammering, shrinking from the memories. You will not talk of that, because that is the horror, and the horror is held in the heart's hoard, a secret, and to admit it is to admit fear, and we are warriors.
We do not fear. We strut. We go to battle like heroes. We stink of shit. ~ Bernard Cornwell
Fear Of Failing quotes by Bernard Cornwell
war historian Paul Fussell suggests that in World War II heavy drinking was the answer to fear, boredom and the terrible damage to the sense of identity experienced by so many combatants. Drunkenness, he writes, did for the men of this war what drugs did for the next generation in Vietnam. ~ Liz Byrski
Fear Of Failing quotes by Liz Byrski
My mother used to say there are two kinds of people in this world:

Those who want, and those who take.

Most of us are sheep who spend our lives in want. We follow the path worn smooth and velvety from the hooves before us. There's no need for leashes or fences - we call those things law and morality. Man is the only animal that can reason and all he does with reason is shackle himself. We eat what we're fed and we fuck what we can't outrun and it's never what we dream about but it dulls the screaming edge of desire just enough. Enough so we keep our heads down, our eyes on the ground. Our fetters are fashioned from conformity and fear.

But sometimes an animal can't be contained. Sometimes a head lifts from the herd and a wolfish intelligence kindles, the nostrils flaring, the eyes catching sickles of moonlight and a hot, earthy breath clotting the cold air, and someone realizes there's really nothing stopping us from taking whatever we want.

And everything is prey. ~ Leah Raeder
Fear Of Failing quotes by Leah Raeder
So the reason for our cleanliness becomes apparent; cleanliness is a form of apprehension; our faulty racial memory is fathered by fear. Destiny and history are untidy; we fear memory of that disorder. ~ Djuna Barnes
Fear Of Failing quotes by Djuna Barnes
I know I have an ocean of sadness inside me and I have been damming it my entire life. I have always imagined that something was supposed to rescue me from the ocean. But maybe the ocean is its own ultimate rescue – a reprieve from the linear mind and into the world of feeling. Shouldn't someone have told me this at birth? Shouldn't someone have said, "Enjoy your ocean of sadness, there is nothing to fear in it," so I didn't have to build all those dams? I think some of us are less equipped to deal with our oceans, or maybe we are just more terrified, because we see and feel a little extra. So we build our shitty dams. But inevitably, the dam always breaks again. It breaks again and the ocean speaks to me. It says 'I'm alive and it's real'. It says, 'I'm going to die, and it's real. ~ Melissa Broder
Fear Of Failing quotes by Melissa Broder
You never can lose anything without gaining something. So forget the fear of loss and concentrate on the beauty of gain. ~ Debasish Mridha
Fear Of Failing quotes by Debasish Mridha
My poems, I think, exist in a state of tension between the love of natural beauty and the fear of natural meaninglessness or absurdity. ~ Hayden Carruth
