"Failure is acceptable. but not trying is..." - Quote by Michael Jordan

“I heave the basketball; I know it sails in a parabola, exhibiting perfect symmetry, which is interrupted by the basket. It's funny, but it is always interrupted by the basket.”

“When I was young, I had to learn the fundamentals of basketball. You can have all the physical ability in the world, but you still have to know the fundamentals.”

“I failed so therefore I succeed.”

“Why take pride in cooking, when they don't take pride in eating?”

“A poem may be worked over once it is in being, but may not be worried into being.”

“The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand”

“Never feel shame for trying and failing, for he who never failed is he who never tried.”

“The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized - never knowing.”

“Don't judge those who try and fail. Judge only those who fail to try.”
