I feel that 'The Great Failure' is really a book written out of great love and a willingness to face all of who a human being is.

I'm very comfortable with failure. I'm very comfortable being the guy who disappoints people.

In a crowded marketplace fitting in is a failure. In a busy marketplace not standing out is the same as being invisible.

We feel a lot of pressure about looking silly or appearing weak whatever that means or being a failure. You have to keep in your head: what's the worst that can happen?

Sadness is a super important thing not to be ashamed about but to include in our lives. One of the bigger problems with sadness or depression is there's so much shame around it. If you have it you're a failure. You are felt as being very unattractive.

My story of success and failure is not just about music and being famous. It's about living and loving and trying to find purpose in this crazy world.

If you're not a born-again Christian you're a failure as a human being.

Before I was married I didn't consider my failure to manage even basic hand tools a feminist inadequacy. I thought it had more to do with being Jewish. The Jews I knew growing up didn't do 'do-it-yourself.' When my father needed to hammer something he generally used his shoe and the only real tool he owned was a pair of needle-nose pliers.

The main reason for the failure of the modern medical science is that it is dealing with results and not causes. Nothing more than the patching up of those attacked and the burying of those who are slain without a thought being given to the real strong hold.

You get so afraid of failure and so afraid of losing and so afraid of not being the best that it's not a natural drive - it's born out of fear of failure. Which helps in Hollywood.

I'm sure not afraid of success and I've learned not to be afraid of failure. The only thing I'm afraid of now is of being someone I don't like much.

I have a tendency to sabotage relationships I have a tendency to sabotage everything. Fear of success fear of failure fear of being afraid. Useless good-for-nothing thoughts.

Man's sin is in his failure to live what he is. Being the master of the earth man forgets that he is the servant of God.

Failure is authentic and because it's authentic it's real and genuine and because of that it's a pure state of being.

He who risks and fails can be forgiven. He who never risks and never fails is a failure in his whole being.

Sound character provides the power with which a person may ride the emergencies of life instead of being overwhelmed by them. Failure is... the highway to success.

A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms agains himself. He makes his failure certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it.

A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself. He makes his failure certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it.

Failure should be our teacher not our undertaker. Failure is delay not defeat. It is a temporary detour not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing doing nothing and being nothing.

You're working on being a father so that is something that when you experience it you'll understand the profundity of wanting to protect something dear to you.

It is brilliant going to the theatre and being forced to sit and listen and think about life. It can be almost a near-religious experience.

The course of the flight up and down was exceedingly erratic partly due to the irregularity of the air and partly to lack of experience in handling this machine. The control of the front rudder was difficult on account of its being balanced too near the center.

Being in love is the only transcendent experience.

From my experience politicians are much more uncomfortable being made fun of than they are being preached at and screeched at - you know and the soapbox routine. They're much more uneasy knowing they're a target of ridicule.
