Failings Quotes (page 5)

Seth Godin quote: "Change almost never fails because it's too early. It almost..."
Change almost never fails because it's too early. It almost always fails because it's too late. Seth Godin
Well in case you failed to notice, In case you failed to see, This is my heart bleeding before you, This is me down on my knees. These foolish games are tearing me apart. Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart. You're breaking my heart Jewel
No teacher has ever failed from ignorance. That is empiric professional knowledge. Teachers fail because they cannot `handle the class.' Real education must ultimately be limited to men how INSIST on knowing, the rest is mere sheep-herding. Ezra Pound
Some people prefer solitude. They say their peace of mind depends on this. Others say they would be better off in church. If you do well, you do well wherever you are. If you fail, you fail wherever you are. Your surroundings don't matter. God is with you everywhere -- in the market place as well as in seclusion or in the church. If you look for nothing but God, nothing or no one can disturb you. God is not distracted by a multitude of things. Nor can we be. Meister Eckhart
Thought and science are therefore raising problems which their terms of study can never answer, many of which are doubtless problems only for thought. The trisection of an angle is similarly an insoluble problem only for compass and straight-edge construction, and Achilles cannot overtake the tortoise so long as their progress is considered piecemeal, endlessly having the distance between them. However, as it is not Achilles but the method of measurement which fails to catch up with the... Alan Watts
Zig Ziglar quote: "Most people who fail in their dream fail not from lack of..."
Most people who fail in their dream fail not from lack of ability but from lack of commitment. Zig Ziglar
The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena, who strive valiantly; who know the great enthusiasums, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at best know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. Theodore Roosevelt
George Foreman quote: "Many people fail not so much because of their mistakes; they..."
Many people fail not so much because of their mistakes; they fail because they are afraid to try. George Foreman
Twice Flush had done his utmost to kill his enemy; twice he had failed. And why had he failed, he asked himself? Because he loved Miss Barrett. Looking up at her from under his eyebrows as she lay, severe and silent on the sofa, he knew that he must love her for ever. Things are not simple but complex. If he bit Mr. Browning he bit her too. Hatred is not hatred; hatred is also love. Virginia Woolf
Og Mandino quote: "Never feel shame for trying and failing for he who has never..."
Never feel shame for trying and failing for he who has never failed is he who has never tried. Og Mandino
Marilyn Monroe quote: "Just because you fail once doesn't mean you're gonna fail at..."
Just because you fail once doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Marilyn Monroe
L. M. Montgomery quote: "Marilla, what if I fail!''You'll hardly fail completely in one..."
Marilla, what if I fail!''You'll hardly fail completely in one day and there's plenty more days coming,' said Marilla. L. M. Montgomery
Good writing does not succeed or fail on the strength of its ability to persuede. It succeeds or fails on the strength of its ability to engage you, to make you think, to give you a glimpse into someone elses head. Malcolm Gladwell
This new war, like the previous one, would be a test of the power of machines against people and places; whatever its causes and justifications, it would make the world worse. This was true of that new war, and it has been true of every new war since...I knew too that this new war was not even new but was only the old one come again. And what caused it? It was caused, I thought, by people failing to love one another, failing to love their enemies. Wendell Berry
