Quote: "I have missed 9000 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. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed." - Michael Jordan

Quote: "I think it's important to have a good hard failure when you're young. Because it makes you kind of aware of what can happen to you. Because of it I've never had any fear in my whole life when we've been near collapse and all of that. I've never been afraid." - Walt Disney
