Could anyone fail to be depressed by a book he or she has published? Don't we always outgrow them the moment the last page has been written?
Mary Ritter Beard
Image
When someone wants to lose weight, they will do whatever it takes. They can’t do it for anyone else but themselves. It has to be for them alone. Without that understanding, they will fail.
Jennifer Hudson
Image
Failing is a judgment that we humans place on a given action. Rather than judgment, substitute this attitude: You cannot fail, you can only produce results.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Marriages are more likely to fail when one partner not only does not mirror the other's expressions of happiness, but instead shows expressions of contempt.
Allan Pease
Image
Failure does not exist. Failure is simply someone else's opinion of how a certain act should have been completed. Once you believe that no act must be performed in any specific other-directed way, then failing becomes impossible.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Promise too much and you'll have plenty of room to fail. Promise little and you'll have plenty of room to excel.
Ron Kaufman

Half of the modern world goes back as far as Pearl Jam. The real historians go back to U2. But they need to go back further. They have to go back to the '50s and '60s, where things started. That's how you get to be your own personality, by studying the masters. Rock and roll was white kids trying to make black music and failing, gloriously!
Steven Van Zandt

I wish I had a typical workday. I struggle to get up at seven and almost always fail. I just try to get to my office as soon as I can, but it's always later than I would like.
Alison Bechdel
Image
Failure isn't an option. I've erased the word fear from my vocabulary and I think when you erase fear you can't fail.
Alicia Keys
Image
The story fails but your faith in the importance of doing the story doesn't fail.
Alice Munro
Image
Everything fails, all the time.
Werner Vogels
Image
My books are friends that never fail me.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow if I fail, or if I succeed at least I did as I believe.
Whitney Houston
Image
If I fail, if I succeed, at least I live as I believe.
Whitney Houston
Image
A genuine satyagraha should never excite contempt in the opponent even when it fails to command regard or respect.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
When words fail, wars begin. When wars finally end, we settle our disputes with words.
Wilfred Funk
Image
Some philosophers fail to distinguish propositions from judgements ... But in the real world it is more important that a proposition be interesting than that it be true. The importance of truth is that it adds to interest.
Alfred North Whitehead
Image
If we reason that we want happiness for others, not for ourselves, then we ought justly to be suspected of failing to recognize human nature for what it is and of wishing to turn men into machines.
Wilhelm von Humboldt
Image
There are other sources of psychological knowledge, which become accessible at the very point where the experimental method fails us.
Wilhelm Wundt
Image
But, ah me! where is the faultless human creature who can persevere in a good resolution, without sometimes failing and falling back?
Wilkie Collins
Image
If our economy of freedom fails to distribute wealth as ably as it has created it, the road to dictatorship will be open to any man who can persuasively promise security to all.
Will Durant
Image
A great civilization is not conquered from without, until it has destroyed itself from within. The essential causes of Rome's decline lay in her people, her morals, her class struggle, her failing trade, her bureaucratic despotism, her stifling taxes, her consuming wars.
Will Durant
Image
The indictment knocked me on the head. First of all, I hand no idea at all about 90 per cent of the accusations in it. The crimes are horrible beyond belief, if they are true. Secondly, I don't see how they can fail to recognize a soldier's obligation to obey orders. That's the code I've live by all my life.
Alfred Jodl
Image
If you set up an environment where failing is encouraged then you want to try everything. It's obviously the best way to work.
