As WArden Lawes once said of convicts, no man can be called a failure until he has tried something he really likes, and fails at it.
Sydney J. Harris
Image
The only reward to be expected from literature is contempt if one fails and hatred if one succeeds.
Voltaire
Image
He who knows how to wait for what he desires does not feel very desperate if he fails in obtaining it and he, on the contrary, who is very impatient in procuring a certain thing, takes so much pains about it, that, even when he is successful, he does not think himself sufficiently rewarded.
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
I think of my best poems as vessels that I can or hope to fill with everything I have. I try to give to them all of the electric complexity. Each one fails at this, of course, but I keep trying - adoring each of them, loving the process, the ebb and flow of it - and each time, the failures fail a bit better.

Wisdom is not gained by knowing what is right. Wisdom is gained by practicing what is right, and noticing what happens when that practice succeeds and when it fails.
Barbara Brown Taylor
Image
Audacity succeeds as often as it fails in life it has an even chance.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Image
When all else fails the liberals call you names or attack your personality.
Herman Cain
Image
I take square aim at an unbiblical churchianity that has resulted in a church-centric religion that fails to reflect the heart of God for people.
Reggie McNeal
Image
... I never will allow myself to form an ideal of any person I desire to see, for disappointment never fails to ensue.
Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of Blessington
Image
If the devil cannot keep you from being saved, if next he fails to make you backslide, then he undertakes to keep you just an average Christian. Here he succeeds with most believers.
Vance Havner
Image
I go to my Room and I drink and I smoke some cigarettes and I think about her. I drink and I smoke and I think about her and at a certain point blackness comes and my memory fails me.
James Frey
Image
You think education is something to be done when all else fails?
T. H. White

Portal Bridge is based on a design from the 1840s and was already obsolete shortly after it was completed in 1910. It's a swing bridge that needs to be opened several times a week so barges can pass up and down the river. It takes about a half an hour. The problem is it fails to lock back into place on a regular basis.
Ray LaHood
Image
When all else fails, throw a party!
Eugene Walter
Image
He who wins people, prospers he who loses them, fails. Your present plan should be to seek humans of high aims and farseeing views, and you can establish yourself firmly.
Zhou Yu
Image
Sometimes one succeeds, sometimes one fails.
Harold Bloom
Image
Teach us to know that we cannot know, for the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Let faith support us where reason fails, and we shall think because we believe, not in order that we may believe.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
When all else fails, and to stand firm seems impossible, stand on the wood of the Cross it will float with you.
Marie Leszczynska
Image
An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.
James A. Michener
Image
God writes with a pen that never blots, speaks with a tongue that never slips, acts with a hand that never fails
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I think I am probably in love with silence, that other world. And that I write, in some way, to negotiate seriously with it . Because there is, of course, always the desire, the hope, that they are not two separate worlds, sound and silence, but that they become each other, that only our hearing fails.
Jorie Graham
Image
The whole point of building theoretical systems is to explain what humans know by pre-theoretical experience. That is the starting point for any philosophy. That is the data it seeks to explain. If it fails to explain the data of experience, then it has failed the test. It has been falsified.
Nancy Pearcey
Image
I like to go to the races at Hollywood Park, but I don't usually win with the horses, so afterward I go to Auntie Em's and drown my sorrows in a red velvet cupcake. It never fails me.
Russell Mael
Image
We must build our faith not on fading lights but on the Light that never fails.
