"Every failed experiment is one step closer..." - Quote by Denzel Washington

“It's important for us to tell our stories.”

“The poorest people are the sweetest people.”

“Don't get all sentimental on me, Makes me think I'm gonna die.”

“If a man wants to set up as an innkeeper and he does not succeed, it is not comic. If, on the contrary, a girl asks to be allowed to set up as a prostitute and she fails, as sometimes happens, it is comic.”

“So long as the man with ambition is a failure, the world will tell him to let go of his ideal; but when his ambition is realized, the world will praise him for the persistence and the determination that he manifested during his dark hours, and everybody will point to his life as an example for coming generations. This is invariably the rule. Therefore pay no attention to what the world says when you are down. Be determined to get up, to reach the highest goal you have in view, and you will.”

“The twin killers of success are impatience and greed.”

“I guess that's one of the things about growing up in the fifties - it never occurred to me that you wouldn't be at least as successful as your parents.”

“Success has many fathers.”

“When you want wisdom and insight as badly as you want to breathe, it is then you shall have it.”
