Failure doesn't always precede success. Some people just don't put in enough effort and keep failing and failing.
Failure doesn't always have to be part of the equation..
Some people just go in expecting to fail first... Unhealthy.

Zeal Quotes

Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal. The winner is he who gives himself to his work, body and soul. -Charles Buxton

I like men who are temperate and moderate in everything. An excessive zeal for that which is good, though it may not be offensive to me, at all events raises my wonder, and leaves me in a difficulty how I should call it. -Montaigne

Zeal without knowledge is a like fire without a grate to contain it; like a sword without a hilt to wield it by; like a high-bred horse without a bridle to guide him. It speaks without thinking, acts without planning, seeks to accomplish a good end without the adoption of becoming means. -Bate

True zeal is a strong, steady, uniform, benevolent affection; but false zeal is a strong, desultory, boisterous, selfish passion. -Emmons

Old Irish saying.

Says I to him, I says, says I,
Says I to him, I says,
The thing, says I, I says to him,
Is just, says I, this ways.
I hev', says I, a gret respeck
For you and for your breed,
And onything I could, I says,
I'd do, I wud indeed.
I don't know any man, I says,
I'd do it for, says I,
As fast, I says, as for yoursel',
That's tellin' ye no lie.
There's nought, says I, I wudn't do
To plase your feyther's son,
But this, I says, ye see, says I,
I says, it can't be done.
