Where instinct fails, intellect must venture.
Jim Butcher
Image
A nation that fails to plan intelligently for the development and protection of its precious waters will be condemned to wither because of its shortsightedness. The hard lessons of history are clear, written on the deserted sands and ruins of once proud civilizations.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
If another euro country fails, so does Slovakia. Our economy is 80% open and if the citizens of Spain and Portugal have no money to buy cars made here in Slovakia then that will be bad for us. Everything is connected.
Iveta Radicova
Image
Blot out, correct, insert, refine, enlarge, diminish, interline. Be mindful, when invention fails. To scratch your head and bite your nails.
Jonathan Swift
Image
The best patients are the worst patients. Nudge, nudge, nudge. Don't sit back and accept anything that fails to satisfy you. Speak up, protect your interests.
Claire Fagin
Image
Bijli fails in the dead of night / Won’t help to call “I need a light” / You’re in Karachi now / Oh, oh you’re in Karachi now. / Night is falling and you just cant see / Is this illusion or KESC / You’re in Karachi now
Kamila Shamsie
Image
When all else fails, put on a costume and sing a silly song.
Sam Walton
Image
He who fails to prepare, prepares to fail
Confucius
Image
One rule which woe betides the banker who fails to heed it/Never lend any money to anybody unless they don't need it.
Ogden Nash
Image
Franklin Roosevelt said the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance to those who have much it is whether we provide enough to those who have too little. This reconciliation package fails that test as well.
Patrick J. Kennedy
Image
Much verse fails of being poetry because it was not written exactly at the right crisis, though it may have been inconceivably near to it. It is only by a miracle that poetry is written at all. It is not recoverable thought, but a hue caught from a vaster receding thought.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
There's a couple of universal principles in life. One is, don't ever open a restaurant. One out of every two fails.
Susan Powter
Image
[Ayn] Rand accepts that when she supports military conscription, even indirectly. Also, she starts her politics from the premise that the State must have police power. She fails to take into account the inevitability that once you start with police power you're going to have a police State.
Murray Bookchin
Image
Most inspiration still comes from bicycling around San Francisco. This city never fails to inspire me. It is one of the most vibrant cities - especially visually - with a constant influx of young energy arriving daily. I love it.
Barry McGee
Image
The modern believer is not suspicious enough, which is perhaps why when they try to construct arguments in their defence, the convictions are left doing all the work and reason, debilitated by neglect, weakly fails to prop them up.
Julian Baggini
Image
If the Confederacy fails, there should be written on its tombstone: Died of a Theory.
Jefferson Davis
Image
She has a choice. She can either accept a life of misery or she can struggle against it. And she chooses to struggle...she fails in the end but there's something beautiful and even heroic in her rebellion.
Kate Winslet
Image
There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
hope and uncertainty [are] the twin ingredients necessary for romance to thrive. ... Nothing begins with so much excitement and hope, or fails as often, as love.
Diane Ackerman
Image
Don't be ashamed of the creative urges which drive you. And certainly don't be ashamed of your ego. Hubris is only hubris when it fails. When Hubris pays off, we call these people geniuses.
Kieron Gillen
Image
The people are forbidden to give aid and comfort to rebels. What of a government that has the power to cut off from aid and comfort all the rebels of the South and fails to exercise it?
Robert Dale Owen
Image
When Art struggles, it succeeds when revelling in its own successes, it as singularly fails.
Owen Jones
Image
If history were a photograph of the past it would be flat and uninspiring. Happily, it is a painting and, like all works of art, it fails of the highest truth unless imagination and ideas are mixed with the paints.
Allan Nevins
Image
Whether a revolution succeeds or fails people of great hearts will always be sacrificed to it.
Heinrich Heine
