| Quote:My son first wanted to go to Stanford, which I thought was O.K. The weather is pretty good, and it's a fairly short drive to the beach. But it wouldn't be as good as let's say, Pepperdine, which is in Malibu. And he said, 'Dad, what about the education?' I said, 'Clearly, I failed as a parent.'[Larry Ellison] Quote:Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:Males have a lot of trouble not looking at breasts. What is worse, males cannot look at breasts and think at the same time. In fact, scientists now believe that the primary biological function of breasts is to make males stupid. This was proved in a famous 1978 laboratory experiment wherein a team of leading male psychological researchers at Yale deliberately looked at photographs of breasts every day for two years, at the end of which they concluded that they had failed to take any notes.[Dave Barry] Quote:My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.[Abraham Lincoln] Quote:I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.[Thomas Edison] Quote:It is largely because the free-thinkers, as a school, have hardly made up their minds whether they want to be more optimist or more pessimist than Christianity that their small but sincere movement has failed. For the duel is deadly; and any agnostic who wishes to be anything more than a Nihilist must sympathize with one version of nature or the other.[GK Chesterton] Quote:If a man has talent and can't use it, he's failed. If he uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he uses the whole of it, he has succeeded, and won a satisfaction and triumph few men ever know.[Thomas Wolfe] Quote:I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is precisely why I succeed.[Michael Jordan] Quote:For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three. [Arthur C. Clarke] Quote:LEONARD: I've failed, Chris. I can't locate the white collective unconscious.<br>CHRIS: I wouldn't feel too bad about that. You know, western culture hasn't really carried the baton on folklore and mythology. The rise of Christianity put the kibosh on it--the gospel hits the number one best-seller list and everything else gets remaindered. [Barbara Hall] Quote:I failed to make the chess team because of my height. [Woody Allen] Definitions of: failedDefinition: unsuccessful. Opposite of successful. |
