Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure.

There are no mistakes, save one: the failure to learn from a mistake.

In politics, what begins in fear usually ends in failure.

If you're the type of person who has to fulfill your dreams, you've gotta be resourceful to make sure you can do it. I came out to California when I was 21, thinking my New York credentials would take me all the way. I came back home a year later all dejected and a failure.
