Failed Quotes

You won’t see me writing about particle physics, or even planetary geology, or chemistry. I practically failed chemistry, and if I had to write a book in any of those areas, I don’t think it would go well Picture Quote #1

Open your eyes and look around carefully at the moments when you think you have failed, because the lighthouse of the success mysteriously appears amongst the fog at those very moments! Picture Quote #1

The way I feel about every book is this: you don’t finish it, you abandon it. All of my books have in some sense failed, otherwise I wouldn’t write another one. If I wrote the perfect book, I wouldn’t have to write again, and I wouldn’t want to. That’s not true for everyone, but it’s true for me. I could walk away then. But so far I haven’t managed to do it Picture Quote #1

Don’t act so callous to blank out good friends who failed on their way to success, just because something unusual hindered them, but you meandered out by a stroke of luck Picture Quote #1

In college, I was always disappointed by lectures that covered social problems but failed to identify what I could do to change them. Part of the problem was that many professors simply didn’t believe they had a role in converting awareness to action Picture Quote #1

Pointing out that countless great mathematicians had tried to solve the problem and failed before you came along is in particularly bad taste and should be avoided completely Picture Quote #1

No matter how many times you have failed you must keep going forward. Only when you have become humble will you begin to grasp the meaning of life Picture Quote #1

Can it be that I have overlooked something, that there is something which I have failed to understand? Is it not possible that this state of despair is common to everyone? Picture Quote #1

Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king Picture Quote #1

Now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But remember, as my plastic surgeon always said: if you gotta go, go with a smile Picture Quote #1

The history of science knows scores of instances where an investigator was in the possession of all the important facts for a new theory but simply failed to ask the right questions Picture Quote #1

It wasn’t until I’d met everyone else’s measure of success that I realized I’d failed myself Picture Quote #1

Students should not feel as if they had missed the boat if they failed examinations and should be presented with more opportunities to further their studies Picture Quote #1

Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid. In the past, whenever I had fallen short in almost any undertaking, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all Picture Quote #1

The world hath failed to impart the joy our youth forebodes; failed to fill up the void which in our breasts we bear Picture Quote #1

Those who failed to oppose me, who readily agreed with me, accepted all my views, and yielded easily to my opinions, were those who did me the most injury, and were my worst enemies, because, by surrendering to me so easily, they encouraged me to go too far... I was then too powerful for any man, except myself, to injure me Picture Quote #1

The prairies were dust. Day after day, summer after summer, the scorching winds blew the dust and the sun was brassy in a yellow sky. Crop after crop failed. Again and again the barren land must be mortgaged for taxes and food and next year’s seed. The agony of hope ended when there was not harvest and no more credit, no money to pay interest and taxes; the banker took the land. Then the bank failed Picture Quote #1

I’ve had phases where the compass point seems lost. It can happen for various reasons, among them, that you’re trying to do something outside your skill set; your skills have to catch up with the things you see in your head. But it’s important to make all of those paintings, even the failed ones Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been slightly embittered about computers because it was the only subject I failed at school Picture Quote #1

Commitments present themselves in delineations of black and white. You either honor your commitments or you don’t. Success is the result of making and keeping commitments to your self and others, while all failed or unfinished goals, projects and relationships are the direct result of broken commitments. It’s that simple, that profound, and that important Picture Quote #1

Men are men and women are women. We’ve tried for tens of thousands of years to lay down hard and fast lines for the sexes to walk upon, and we’ve failed miserably Picture Quote #1

If you’re involved in an accident and you’re at fault $500,000 may not be enough. Do you really want to lose your house because you failed to spend an extra couple of hundred bucks? Picture Quote #1

I think that I failed by not studying more, and praying more, and spending more time with my family Picture Quote #1

I think the print media have failed to make the most of their opportunity. They may all disappear because they are approaching things in the wrong way Picture Quote #1

Failure is a learning experience, and the guy who has never failed has never done anything Picture Quote #1

I never failed in mathematics. Before I was fifteen I had mastered differential and integral calculus Picture Quote #1

There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it’s successful; if it doesn’t it has failed Picture Quote #1

The mathematician who is without value to mathematicians, the thinker who is obscure or meaningless to thinkers, the dramatist who fails to move the pit, may be wise, may be eminent, but as an author he has failed Picture Quote #1

Gershwin’s tragedy was not that he failed to cross the tracks, but rather that he did, and once there in his new habitat, was deprived of the chance to plunge his roots firmly into the new soil Picture Quote #1

When I first started, I didn’t really know how to structure a play. I could write dialogue, but I just sort of failed beyond that, and kind of went wherever I wanted to go Picture Quote #1
