"He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great"
- Herman Melville
About this Quote
This quote by Herman Melville talks to the concept that failure is an important part of life and is required for development. It suggests that those who have actually never failed have not experienced the complete series of life's experiences and for that reason can not be genuinely excellent. Failure is an opportunity to discover and grow, and it is through failure that we can become better versions of ourselves. It is through failure that we can get insight into our strengths and weak points, and it is through failure that we can develop durability and determination. Without failure, we would not have the ability to appreciate success and would not have the ability to recognize our own potential. Failure is an important part of life, and it is through failure that we can become great.
