Paul Getty   Failure is not fatal; victory is not success. •Tony Richardson   Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have. •Louis Boone   Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. •Jim Rohn  There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. •Laurence J. Peter   If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless. •Robert H.

Be patient. •Sri Swami Sivananda   Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. •Joe Paterno   Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits. •Robert Louis Stevenson   Failures are like skinned knees -- painful, but superficial. •H. Ross Perot   I cannot give the formula for success, but I can give you the formula of failure -- which is try to please everybody. •Herbert B.

We are afraid of the jeer about "pie in the sky", and of being told that we are trying to "escape" from the duty of making a happy world here and now, into dreams of a better world elsewhere. But either there is "pie in the sky" or there is not. If there is not, then Christianity is false, for this doctrine is woven into its whole fabric. If there is, then this doctrine, like any other, must be faced, whether it is useful at political meetings or no.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mary is already a winner, with a free trip to Las Vegas worth a few grand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38605]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mary is already a winner, with a free trip to Las Vegas worth a few grand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To Sorrow I bade good-morrow,  And though to leave her far away behind;   But cheerly, cheerly,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57256]]></link><description><![CDATA[To Sorrow I bade good-morrow,  And though to leave her far away behind;   But cheerly, cheerly,    She loves me dearly:     She is so constant to me, and so kind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A young boy is a theory, an old man is a fact. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59114]]></link><description><![CDATA[A young boy is a theory, an old man is a fact.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice is the insurance which we have on our lives and property.
