Famous quotes containing the word fail:
“We can glut ourselves with how-to-raise children information . . . strive to become more mature and aware but none of this will spare us from the . . . inevitability that some of the time we are going to fail our children. Because there is a big gap between knowing and doing. Because mature, aware people are imperfect too. Or because some current event in our life may so absorb or depress us that when our children need us we cannot come through.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“Be strong and bold; have no fear or dread of them, because it is the LORD your God who goes with you; he will not fail you or forsake you.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 31:6.
“I fail to see what fun, what satisfaction
A God can find in laughing at how badly
Men fumble at the possibilities....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
