It makes sense to invest in new work. It's almost like having a research department in a scientific laboratory. You have to try things out. You'll make some bad mistakes. Some things will fail but at least you'll energise the organisation.
Gavin Bryars
Image
I'm not afraid to fail. I'm afraid to be mediocre.
Junior Seau
Image
No amount of advertising can repair the damage done by failing to properly address a customer's concern.
Albert Houtum-Schindler
Image
Believing in yourself is the first step to accomplishing any goal. If you think you're going to fail, you probably will.
Will Smith
Image
Whining about your own, others', or the world's failings is a main element in what we usually call neurosis.
Albert Ellis
Image
I do not believe that a moral philosophy can ever be founded on a scientific basis. … The valuation of life and all its nobler expressions can only come out of the soul’s yearning toward its own destiny. Every attempt to reduce ethics to scientific formulas must fail. Of that I am perfectly convinced.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is difficult to think of anything more important than providing the best education possible for our children. They will develop the next technologies, medical cures, and global industries, while mitigating their unintended effects, or they will fail to do these things and consign us all to oblivion.
Sam Harris

There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man's lack of faith in his true Self.
William James
Image
Compared to what we ought to be, we are only half awake. We are making use of only a small part of our physical and mental resources. Stating the thing broadly, the human individual thus lives far within his limits. He possesses power of various sorts which he habitually fails to use.
William James
Image
I can not wish you success in your effort to reject the treaty because while it may win the fight it may destroy our cause. My plan cannot fail if the people are with us and we ought not to succeed unless we do have the people with us.
William Jennings Bryan
Image
Remember that [scientific thought] is the guide of action that the truth which it arrives at is not that which we can ideally contemplate without error, but that which we may act upon without fear and you cannot fail to see that scientific thought is not an accompaniment or condition of human progress, but human progress itself.
William Kingdon Clifford
Image
Mutually Assured Destruction, MAD, works only as long as it works it does not know what to do if deterrence fails, for it envisions no defensive capabilities. A deterrent works until it is needed then one needs defenses.
Jerry Pournelle
Image
A man's task is to find himself, and if he fails in this, it doesn't much matter what else he finds.
William Manchester
Image
Strive for excellence in your calling, but as a subsidiary to this: Do not fail to enrich your whole capital as man. To be a giant, and not a dwarf in your profession, you must always be growing. The man that has ceased to go up intellectually has begun to go down.
William Matthews
Image
Innovative ideas are rarely rejected on their merits they’re rejected because of how they make people feel. If you forget people’s concerns and feelings when you present an innovation, or neglect to understand their perspectives in your design, you’re setting yourself up to fail.
Scott Berkun
Image
The stereotypical gay man is someone whose company I enjoy, someone who makes me laugh, someone I'd want my kid to be. The stereotypical gay woman makes me insecure, conscious of my failings as a feminist.
Ayelet Waldman
Image
There have been times when I have failed. But there have never been times when I thought I would fail
Michael Jordan
Image
Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails, but that's what we face when we're dealing with improvisation.

Where Example keeps pace with Authority, Power hardly fails to be obey'd.

A great artist has to be ready to fail.

People sometimes fail to live because they are always preparing to live.

When people 'succeed' they tend to party, when they 'fail' they tend to ponder.
