Ignazio Silone, The…

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them. – James Arthur BaldwinRate it:
Each organ of the human body works, as its nature, and its soul energizes that. Soul rules the entire body accordingly as the constitution of it; otherwise, the body stays as a statue. Similarly, the State becomes stable with all its institutions, as a systematic and constitutional, which vitalize the entire State; otherwise, it stands as empty of a system that proves itself a failed State. – Ehsan SehgalRate it:
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. – Samuel BeckettRate it:
Existence, as we know it, is full of sorrow. To mention only one minor point every man is a condemned criminal, only he does not know the date of his execution. This is unpleasant for every man. Consequently every man does everything possible to postpone the date, and would sacrifice anything that he has if he could reverse the sentence. Practically all religions and all philosophies have started thus crudely, by promising their adherents some such reward as immortality. No religion has failed hitherto by not promising enough the present breaking up of all religions is due to the fact that people have asked to see the securities. Men have even renounced the important material advantages which a well-organized religion may confer upon a State, rather than acquiesce in fraud or falsehood, or even in any system which, if not proved guilty, is at least unable to demonstrate its innocence. Being more or less bankrupt, the best thing that we can do is to attack the problem afresh without preconceived ideas. Let us begin by doubting every statement. Let us find a way of subjecting every statement to the test of experiment. Is there any truth at all in the claims of various religions Let us examine the question. – Aleister CrowleyRate it:
Getting ahead in a difficult profession -- singing, acting, writing, whatever -- requires avid faith in yourself. You must be able to sustain yourself against staggering blows and unfair reversals. When I think back to those first couple of years in Rome, those endless rejections, without a glimmer of encouragement from anyone, all those failed screen tests, and yet I never let my desire slide away from me, my belief in myself and what I felt I could achieve. – Sophia LorenRate it:
History teaches us that people from different religions and ethnic groups can be united around one shared economic goal; equality and prosperity for all. We saw that in the rise of the communist USSR. When the economic policies of the USSR failed, ethnic and national divisions took the forefront and the USSR was dissolved. That can happen to the US if we are hit hard enough by hyperinflation and currency collapse. How the divisions evolve and what forms they will take depend on the type and speed of the government's reaction. It is too early to foresee such events. However, it is important to note that no country is above the socioeconomic laws, US included. – Med JonesRate it:
I have not failed. Ive just found 10,000 ways that dont work. – Thomas Alva EdisonRate it:
I never listen to the naysayers. I had an ex-wife like that. She and her people would always say, “No one will ever buy that, listen to that, want that.” Which probably explains why she is my ex-wife. It’s always seductive to hang around people who have failed at something and have them tell you how mean the business is — whatever your business is — and how unfair it is and how they got screwed by a bunch of people that didn’t care. It’s easy to find failures, and it’s easy to be seduced by failure. It’s much easier to think, “Well, everybody else has failed; no big deal if I do,” than to ignore that and plod on the other way. It takes love and passion for what you do to overcome that and to overcome the “Naysayers.” – Kilburn HallRate it:
I was a runner, a failed quarterback, third-string quarterback, but in track I was a 2-miler. – Bob SegerRate it:
Management An activity or art where those who have not yet succeeded and those who have proved unsuccessful are led by those who have not yet failed. – Paulson FrencknerRate it:
No one travelling on a business trip would be missed if he failed to arrive. – Thorstein VeblenRate it:
Socialism and Communism have failed, but now Capitalism is failing us.” – Jo M. SekimonyoRate it:
The elementary school must assume as its sublime and most solemn responsibility the task of teaching every child in it to read. Any school that does not accomplish this has failed. – William John BennettRate it:
There are only two options in life: Either you refrain yourself from making promises or from breaking them after you have failed the first test. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
We have to acknowledge that the older generations have failed. All political movements in their present form have failed, but homo sapiens have not yet failed. Yes, we are failing, but there is still time to turn everything around. We can still fix this. – Greta ThunbergRate it:
The man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children who has filled his niche and accomplished his task who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. – Robert Louis StephensonRate it:
The sea, the sea is everything! Its sovereign mass brings to me atoms of a myriad faraway lands;Its bright smile animates me in the limpid mornings. And when at the end of day my faith has failed me, My heart echoes the sound of its sorrow in the sands! (Mi Retiro) – Dr. Jose P. RizalRate it:
Countries that quit producing real products, spend more than they produce, lag in education, burden their middle class with higher taxes, and continue to import billions from other countries, bail out failed businesses and reward bad behavior instead of investing in good businesses, will eventually lose their leadership and wealth – Med JonesRate it:
Let me beg for your mercy if I have failed to earn your respect. – Jason DeBruin, The poem "Temporary Shame"Rate it:
All money systems not backed by actual resources has failed in the past, if we keep eating the same food and making the same political choices as we have always done, we are also doomed to inherit a legacy of failure and misfortune". – R. F KnightRate it:
He who has never failed somewhere. . . that man can not be great. – Herman MelvilleRate it:

If you feel that you have both feet planted on level ground, then the university has failed you. – Robert F. GoheenRate it:
It wounds a man less to confess that he has failed in any pursuit through idleness, neglect, the love of pleasure, etc., etc., which are his own faults, than through incapacity and unfitness, which are the faults of his nature. – William Lamb, 2nd Viscount MelbourneRate it:
