- 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.
- Ayelet Waldman on Failure
- Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do.
- Napoleon Hill on Failure
- Before this government came to power, many failing schools were simply allowed to drift on in a pattern of continuing failure. The government is determined to break that pattern and is successfully doing so.
- Estelle Morris on Failure
- Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it.
- Chuck Noll on Failure
- Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination.
- Edward Abbey on Failure
- Beside every great success are the seeds of enormous failure. In every failure, there's the opportunity seeds of great success. They're not miles apart. So if they're that close together, and if you're really working, you're always gonna have that likelihood that something's not going to work.

- Big companies are like marching bands. Even if half the band is playing random notes, it still sounds kind of like music. The concealment of failure is built into them.
- Doug Coupland on Failure
- But all actors go through the process, it's hit and miss, you have achievement and failure.
- Thomas Haden Church on Failure
- But I look at failure as education. In that respect, I am so well-educated.
- Kathy Ireland on Failure
- But if you have a solid walk with the Lord, then you won't fear that failure.
- Cliff Richard on Failure
- But if you look at WorldCom, which is the biggest failure to date, they grew dramatically, they were buying companies that were bigger than they were and they were doing it off inflated stock.
- Don Nickles on Failure
- But thankfully, my first album, 'Wide Screen,' was sort of a critics' darling - everyone raved about it, but no one bought it. They only manufactured 10,000 copies I wasn't even in the running for failure!
- Rupert Holmes on Failure
- But whatever my failure, I have this thing to remember - that I was a pioneer in my profession, just as my grandfathers were in theirs, in that I was the first man in this section to earn his living as a writer.
- Robert E. Howard on Failure
- But while success and failure depend on conditions, the mind neither waxes nor wanes.
- Bodhidharma on Failure
- By far the most important factor in the success or failure of any school, far more important than tests or standards or business-model methods of accountability, is simply attracting the best-educated, most exciting young people into urban schools and keeping them there.
- Jonathan Kozol on Failure
- By virtually any measure, the record of the Republican Majority is an appalling failure.
- Sheila Jackson Lee on Failure
