Fails Quotes
A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.

A PC is a commodity but a value-addition has to be done to this commodity. To differentiate from the other vendors, we are trying to give customers certain features in our computers by which they would be able to save a lot of hassles. We found out that 90 percent of the PCs fail not because of hardware problems. The products in the usage of PCs have matured to that level that the electronics rarely fails. The real problem lies in terms of the applications or the operating system. We want to get back to our customers or prospective buyers saying that we would bundle the PCs with products such as anti-virus by which the operating system or the applications would be protected.
- Arun Seth
A mother's love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking.
- Helen Rice
A miser, unwilling to spend his money, fails to utilize his wealth properly. His mind is occupied by nothing but only one thought-how to preserve his wealth. To ensure the safety of his wealth, he spends most of his time worrying about the means to guard it. Thus,he becomes lethargic.
- Atharva Veda
A mind at liberty to reflect on its own observations, if it produce nothing useful to the world, seldom fails of entertainment to itself.
- George Berkeley
A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph.
- James Allen

A fool often fails because he thinks what is difficult is easy.

[Worries about accountability may also have played a role in the decision to open brand-new schools rather than add teachers and students to existing schools. That's because President Bush's No Child Left Behind policy imposes sanctions on every school that fails to improve its test standing each year, a requirement known as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). By the state's own accountability measure, the schools in Orleans Parish have the lowest performance scores in the state; East Baton Rouge Parish is 10 places higher on the list of 65. The state department of education has already asked federal education secretary Margaret Spellings to limit AYP requirements for 20052006 to students enrolled in the same school for two years.] I am reluctant to waive, even partially, AYP or approve broad changes in state AYP definitions at this time... the linchpin of the No Child Left Behind accountability system.
- Margaret Spellings
