Famous quotes containing the words fears and/or failure:

    Another danger is imminent: A contested result. And we have no such means for its decision as ought to be provided by law. This must be attended to hereafter.... If a contest comes now it may lead to a conflict of arms. I can only try to do my duty to my countrymen in that case. I shall let no personal ambition turn me from the path of duty. Bloodshed and civil war must be averted if possible. If forced to fight, I have no fears from lack of courage or firmness.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    The clearest explanation for the failure of any marriage is that the two people are incompatible—that is, that one is male and the other female.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
