20 Powerful Quotes on Failure

20 Powerful Quotes on Failure worth remembering after I posted this blog on LinkedIn. Should we celebrate failure... Aka "What we learnt in 100 days". Which is ironic, as this blog posted, did extremely well. 
Which is worth investigating later on. 
But for now - I quote the author - Brigette Hyacinth 
"Few things in life are certain but failure is. Failure seems as something to be avoided at all cost. Although it leaves a sour taste, we should embrace failure for the learning opportunity it is. Failure is the oldest teacher, and perhaps the wisest of them all. Some things are impossible to completely grasp without first falling down. We live in a culture that values perfectionism and failure is often viewed as a sign of weakness. People become so fixated on not failing that they never move forward."
