About this Quote

This quote by George S. Patton speaks with the durability of the human spirit. It recommends that success is not identified by how far one has climbed in life, however rather by how well they can get better from failure. It is a pointer that life has plenty of ups and downs, and that it is necessary to stay strong and keep going even when times are difficult. It is a pointer that success is not a direct course, but rather a journey with numerous twists and turns. It is a pointer that failure is not the end, however rather an opportunity to discover and grow. It is a reminder that success is not defined by how high one has actually climbed up, but rather by how well one can choose themselves up and keep going when they struck bottom.
