Hmm, what should I guilt-trip myself about today? Nothing. It's easy to get your head all wrapped up in the emotional response you have to something. Blaming yourself for knowing better but still making a mistake. When we fail to meet someone's expectations. When we fail to keep the promises we've made. However, guilt-tripping yourself will never help one overcome an issue or a defeat. Forgive yourself and move on. You know you can do better. You deserve better.
Whether it's googling quotes about failure or motivational quotes, it's a step forward. We, humans, are interesting live beings. We know failure is a part of life, perhaps a blessing in disguise. Yet, we would rather read failure quotes from a total stranger online, who lived decades ago, to give us hope and a breath of fresh air to move forward. And that's perfectly fine. We often forget that we are not the only ones in this world who occasionally feel the ground slipping under one's feet. And interestingly enough, if we find someone who relates to what we are experiencing, it makes a burden 10x lighter.
Perhaps this is why Google, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, and all these websites are a gold mine for powerful quotes about failing and, nonetheless, inspirational quotes. We feel more at peace when we know that we are not alone: feeling defeated and desperately searching for inspiring quotes and ideas to help shine a light on things that feel like the end of the world. But it's not, and you know it.
To help put your mind at ease, we've compiled an exhaustive list of the best quotes on failure, don't give up quotes, how do I move on quotes, call them whatever quotes we could find online. And hopefully, seeing that some of the most remarkable, successful people who walked this earth have faced failure just enough times to make a quote about it will be enough motivation for you to get your head back up.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." - Calvin Coolidge

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important." - Steve Jobs
