Fail

Famous quotes containing the word fail:

    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)

    For precisely when concepts fail one,
    Words are found at the right time.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    I have noticed that doctors who fail in the practice of medicine have a tendency to seek one another’s company and aid in consultation. A doctor who cannot take out your appendix properly will recommend you to a doctor who will be unable to remove your tonsils with success.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
