Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2011 In life we will have failures, always wishing we had waivers, To take back what we’ve just done. So take some time, to sit and unwind, So you can see what you’ve learned from. It may be something small, maybe even smaller than a doll, Something that not everyone else would see, But the important part is, that you take the...
Poet: David V. Bush There’s no such thing as failure To him who fights when down; For just as light comes after night, Success will failure crown. There’s no such thing as failure To those who mean to stand. Each failure hard he’s turned the card Success, and won the hand. They only think it’s failure, And that’s why they’ve not won; If they’d thin...

Poet: Edgar A. Guest You think that the failures are many, You think the successes are few, But you judge by the rule of the penny, And not by the good that men do.

Failure is stepping aside From the brunt of the fray In a weak-hearted way, Being content to abide In the shadows that fall, And in be...
Poet: Unknown After a while you learn the subtle difference Between holding a hand And chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning And company doesn’t mean security. And you begin to learn That kisses aren’t compromises And presents aren’t promises. And you begin to accept your defeats With your head up and your eyes ahead With th...
Poet: Joaquin Miller “All honor to him who shall win the prize” The world has cried for a thousand years. But to him who tries and who fails and dies, I give great honor and glory and tears. Give glory and honor and pitiful tears To all who fail in their deeds sublime. Their ghosts are many in the van of years. They were bom with Time in advance of...
Poet: John Kendrick Bangs Now failures are, as I conceive, No things to weep o’er or to grieve, But beacon lights to warn us when We sail too near the rocks again; Or, better, spurs to urge us on To surer enterprise anon.
