I like the person who commits and goes all in and takes big swings and then maybe fails or looks stupid who jumps and falls down, rather than the person who points at the person who fell, and laughs.
Amy Poehler

I've failed a million times on stage. I've listened to notes that I knew weren't right. I've pitched ideas and let other people change them, knowing that it was the wrong choice. The question you have to ask yourself is: How do you want to fail? Do you want to fail in a way that feels like it respects your tastes and value system?

There are two reasons why people fail. One is irresponsibility. The second is fear.
Wally Amos

Everybody who is somebody becomes nobody the moment they fail

The gift is to the giver, and comes back most to him - it cannot fail
Walt Whitman
Image
Strength of my heart, I need not fail, Not mind to fear but to obey, With such a Leader, who could quail? Thou art as Thou wert yesterday. Strength of my heart, I rest in Thee, Fulfil Thy purposes through me.

The characteristic danger of great nations, like the Romans or the English which have a long history of continuous creation, is that they may at last fail from not comprehending the great institutions which they have created
Walter Bagehot

Though I was standing in front of a mirror, I wasn't really seeing my reflection. I was seeing, very clearly, that—at the moment—I was all in the world that Eric could think of as his own. I had better not fail him.

Coolidge cut the budget, and even better, cut it during peace and prosperity. He left a federal budget lower than the one that greeted him when he arrived in office. He managed to freeze or cut the budget over more than five years in office. If you look at charts of presidents - Nixon, Ike, and Reagan - you see them failing on this score.
Amity Shlaes

Playing things too safe is the most popular way to fail.
Elliott Smith
Image
Bad teaching is teaching which presents an endless procession of meaningless signs, words and rules, and fails to arouse the imagination.
W. W. Sawyer
Image
We already have so much abundance. We truly do. We need not search too far. It is within. The reason we fail to recognize this is because we haven't quite mastered the art of being. For abundance to prevail, we must have LOVE, gratitude, acceptance and compassion.

Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others.
Amelia Earhart
Image
Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
Amelia Earhart
Image
The costume of women should be suited to her wants and necessities. It should conduce at once to her health, comfort, and usefulness and, while it should not fail also to conduce to her personal adornment, it should make that end of secondary importance
Amelia Bloomer

Don’t fail through defects of temper and over-sensitiveness at moments of trial. One of the great helps to success is to be cheerful to go to work with a full sense of life to be determined to put hindrances out of the way to prevail over them and to get the mastery. Above all things else, be cheerful there is no beatitude for the despairing.
Amelia Barr

Social movements are at once the symptoms and the instruments of progress. Ignore them and statesmanship is irrelevant fail to use them and it is weak.
Walter Lippmann
Image
A country survives its legislation. That truth should not comfort the conservative nor depress the radical. For it means that public policy can enlarge its scope and increase its audacity, can try big experiments without trembling too much over the result. This nation could enter upon the most radical experiments and could afford to fail in them.
Walter Lippmann
Image
To be really useful, we must keep pace with the state of society, and not dishearten it by attempts at what its population, means, or occupations will fail in attempting.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
PITY, n. A failing sense of exemption, inspired by contrast.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Receiving, reading, researching, remembering, and reflecting on the Word of God are all useless if we fail to put what we learn into practice.
Rick Warren
Image
Of all failures, to fail in a witticism is the worst, and the mishap is the more calamitous in a drawn-out and detailed one
Walter Savage Landor
Image
Let's try and fail because through failure you learn

I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight. Rush Limbaugh, 'I hope the country fails' - I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? ... He needs a waterboarding, that's what he needs.
