Fail

Famous quotes containing the word fail:

    I go out of my way, but rather by license than carelessness.... It is the inattentive reader
    who loses my subject, not I. Some word about it will always be found off in a corner, which will not fail to be sufficient, though it takes little room.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Stupidity, outrage, vanity, cruelty, iniquity, bad faith, falsehood—we fail to see the whole array when it is facing in the same direction as we.
    Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

    Children, who play life, discern its true law and relations more clearly than men, who fail to live it worthily, but who think that they are wiser by experience, that is, by failure.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
