Popular quotes about Fail! Wisdom and inspiration are here!
We must allow ourselves to think, we must dare to think, even though we fail. It is in the nature of things that we always fail, because we suddenly find it impossible to order our thoughts, because the process of thinking requires us to consider every thought there is, every possible thought. Fundamentally we have always failed, like all the others, whoever they were, even the greatest minds. At some point, they suddenly failed and their system collapsed, as is proved by their writings, which we admire because they venture farthest into failure. To think is to fail, I thought.
Thomas BernhardWe must not fail, individually, for if we fail, we fail twice - for ourselves and for those who could have been helped, if we had done our duty.
Neal A. MaxwellI win and succeed only 'cause I fail so much. I fail all the time. I wrote 70 songs just to have 12 good ones. For the video I shot 60 hours of footage. 60 hours! To come up with an 8 minute video. So really I only win 'cause I fail.

Two centuries from now our great-great- . . . -great grandchildren will be, similarly, reading Why Nations Fail.
George AkerlofI think there are definitely two types of student: the academic kids and the 50% who fail. It's very clear to see - it's fact.

Jamie OliverSo often we experience things in life, and yet never see the connections between them.

John ScalziThe credit belongs to those of us who are actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood.

Profoundly changed my life.
Brenรฉ BrownZia turned toward us, her expression grim. โI will show you to your quarters. In the morning, your testing begins. We will see what magic you know, and how you know it.โ I wasnโt sure what she meant by that, but I exchanged an uneasy look with Sadie. โSounds fun,โ Sadie ventured. โAnd it we fail this test?โ Zia regarded her coldly. โThis is not the sort of test you fail, Sadie Kane. You pass or you die.
Rick RiordanThat is Buddha`s meaning of nirvana: to be free from life and death, to be free from desire. The moment you are free from all desires... remember, I repeat, ALL desires. The so-called religious, spiritual desires are included in it, nothing is excluded. All desires have to be dropped because every desire brings frustration, misery, boredom. If you succeed it brings boredom; if you fail it brings despair. If you are after money there are only two possibilities: either you will fail or you will succeed. If you succeed you will be bored with money.
RajneeshSatan wants to claim our souls and those of our children. He want our marriages and our families to fail. He wants darkness to reign.

He wants us to suceed more than Satan wants us to fail- and God is always more powerful.

Bob GoffThere's a Theodore Roosevelt speech about the importance of being in the arena, whether you fail or you succeed, or you make a complete idiot of yourself, as long as you're doing the best with what you have, using whatever knowledge you have to bring to the table at that moment. And you continue to keep learning. I think my mistakes have made me much stronger. It's nice to know that things don't ultimately break you; that you need to go there to know.

Alonzo ChurchThe difference between people who succeed and people who fail, I think in many cases itโs not fear. Everyone experiences fear. The difference is what do you do with your fear. Do you work to overcome it or do you let it defeat you? And I think that is actually what distinguishes very successful people from others.

David F. SwensenAs a businessman, Donald Trump has been associated with some of the worst excesses of a particular style of value-extracting and asset stripping capitalism: set up businesses, let them fail, avoid paying suppliers, use bankruptcy laws to avoid taxes for decades, then set up another business somewhere else. It is this model that is the cause of many problems we see today.
Mariana MazzucatoIf those who hold influence over others fail to lead toward the spiritual uplands, then surely the path to the lowlands will be well worn.
J. Oswald SandersIf we execute murderers and there is in fact no deterrent effect, we have killed a bunch of murderers. If we fail to execute murderers, and doing so would in fact have deterred other murders, we have allowed the killing of a bunch of innocent victims. I would much rather risk the former. This, to me, is not a tough call.
John C. McAdams
