Acute Failure

Famous quotes containing the words acute and/or failure:

“I find the pain of a little censure, even when it is unfounded, is more acute than the pleasure of much praise.”

“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
