I wish popularity, but it is that popularity which follows not that which is run after. It is that popularity which, sooner or later, never fails to do justice to the pursuit of noble ends, by noble means.
William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield
Image
The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.
James A. Baldwin
Image
When the effort fails, is it worth the cost?
Maria V. Snyder

Nobody ever fails in Yoga....It is slow in the beginning and rapid in the end. When one is fully matured, realization is explosive.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
A MAN WITH A CONVICTION is a hard man to change. Tell him you disagree and he turns away. Show him facts or figures and he questions your sources. Appeal to logic and he fails to see your point.
Leon Festinger
Image
My goal is not to create a circumstance in which no one fails, but one in which many will succeed.
Jerry Moran

Our society trains us to think of marriage as a contractual arrangement. If one party fails to fulfill his or her end, the contract is null and void. Increasingly children are raised in a contractual environment. When contractual thinking dominates our horizon, we can even make Jesus or the church an asset we think we can manage.
Michael Horton

In a sense, the first (if not necessarily the prime) function of a novelist, of ANY artist, is to entertain. If the poem, painting, play or novel does not immediately engage one's surface interest then it has failed. Whatever else it may or may not be, art is also entertainment. Bad art fails to entertain. Good art does something in addition.
Brigid Brophy

Language is not subtle enough, tender enough, to express all that we feel and when language fails, the highest and deepest longings are translated into music. Music is the sunshine - the climate - of the soul, and it floods the heart with a perfect June.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Image
A country that fails to value its teachers, fails to value its future.
David Puttnam
Image
Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man, that state is obsolete.
Rod Serling
Image
If it rusts, it can never be trusted If its owner fails to control it, it will cut him Yes, pride is Like a blade.
Tite Kubo
Image
The one who fails to prepare is preparing to fail.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
Until one looks back on one's own past one fails to realise what an extraordinary view of the world a child has.
Agatha Christie
Image
If Plan A fails, they could always revert to Plan A.
Mark Lawrenson
Image
It is an axiom nowadays that no bank fails for lack of capital unprofitable lending is always the underlying cause.
James Grant
Image
A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.
Winston Churchill
Image
To this day, I fondly recall the challenges of building a fire, pitching a tent, climbing a New England mountain, canoeing on a lake. Camp songs still resonate inside me. Competition exists at Keewaydin, of course, but nobody fails summer camp, a nice respite from winters of fortune and misfortune at school.
Michael Eisner
Image
In brief, when a man fails as a wallet, we put him in prison when a woman fails as a mother, we offer her social services. We're taking a criminal approach to men, a social services approach to women.
Warren Farrell
Image
Fear looks faith jumps. Faith never fails to obtain its object. If I leave you as I found you, I am not God's channel. I am not here to entertain you, but to get you to the place where you can laugh at the impossible.
Smith Wigglesworth
Image
When the eye fails to find beauty-alias solace-it commands the body to create it, or, failing that, adjusts itself to perceive virtue in ugliness.
Joseph Brodsky
Image
If truth does not lead to falling in love, it fails.
John Piper
Image
We aren't upset when Paramount makes a $200 million movie that flops, but if a charity experiments with a $5 million fundraising event that fails, we call in the attorneys. So charities are petrified of trying bold new revenue-generating endeavors and can't develop the powerful learning curves the for-profit sector can.

Death haunts everyone and never fails.
