"There is no disgrace in honest failure;..." - Quote by Henry Ford

“An educated man is not one whose memory is trained to carry a few dates in history - he is one who can accomplish things.”

“Every man starts with all there is. Everything is here-the essence and substance of all there is.”

“History is more or less bunk.”

“I do not wish to comment on the work; if it does not speak for itself, it is a failure.”

“Success comes from continuing to strive, fail and learn without losing enthusiasm.”

“I've failed a million times on stage. I've listened to notes that I knew weren't right. I've pitched ideas and let other people change them, knowing that it was the wrong choice. The question you have to ask yourself is: How do you want to fail? Do you want to fail in a way that feels like it respects your tastes and value system?”

“Let there be wicked kings and beheadings, battles and dungeons, giants and dragons, and let the villans be soundly killed at the end of the book. I think it is possible that by confining your child to the blameless stories of life in which nothing at all alarming ever happens, you would fail to banish the terrors, and would succeed in banishing all that can ennoble them or make them endurable.”

“Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!" So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.”

“When a man grows old his joyGrows more deep day after day,His empty heart is full at lengthBut he has need of all that strengthBecause of the increasing NightThat opens her mystery and fright.”
