Single Drive Failure

Famous quotes containing the words single, drive and/or failure:

“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism.

—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“Expect no trivial truth from me, unless I am on the witness- stand. I will come as near to lying as you can drive a coach and four.”

“Learning starts with failure; the first failure is the beginning of education.”
—John Hersey (1914–1993)
