Failing

A friend knows the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.

A person of intellect without energy added to it, is a failure.

An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.

Cooking is one failure after another, and that's how you finally learn.

Every failure made me more confident. Because I wanted even more to achieve as revenge. To show that I could.

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

Failure teaches success.

For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible. Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn't have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.

I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.

If your life is free of failures, you’re not taking enough risks.

It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.

Most of us spend the first six days of each week sowing wild oats; then we go to church on Sunday and pray for a crop failure.

One of the reasons mature people stop learning is that they become less and less willing to risk failure.

Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

The beauty of reason is that it can always be applied to understand failures of reason.

The human failing I would most like to correct is aggression. It may have had survival advantage in caveman days, to get more food, territory or partner with whom to reproduce, but now it threatens to destroy us all.

The pursuit of happiness is a recipe for an unhappy life.

United we stand divided we fall.

Until you try, you don't know what you can't do.

You fail only if you stop writing.
