The draconian spirit that seeks to enhance penalties and to lower the age at which juveniles will be tries as adults, is part of the 'whole cloth' of three strikes. Our failure to address the depair of our inner-city youth is only delayed by our over-confidence in a stance that is 'tougher than thou.'
I fell off my pink cloud with a thud.
Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline.
Coding, it's an endless process of trial and error, of trying to get the right command in the right place, with sometimes just a semicolon making the difference between success and failure. Code breaks and then it falls apart, and it often takes many, many tries until that magical moment when what you're trying to build comes to life.
I even get inspired by movies that aren't very good, because there's always something good in movies that are collectively thought of as a failure. There's good in everything, I find.
Philanthropic colonization is a failure. National colonization will succeed.
The failure to invest in youth reflects a lack of compassion and a colossal failure of common sense.
You just don't go out when you're over 55 years of age, have a colossal failure, and expect to find work in your field again.
Pharmaceutical companies are enjoying unprecedented profits and access with this Administration. Yet the Republicans' prescription drug plan for seniors has been a colossal failure, and over 43 million Americans wake up every morning without health insurance.
I like to do matrices. One option per line, different facets for each column. Salary, location, happiness index, failure index, and all that.
I'm very comfortable with failure. I'm very comfortable being the guy who disappoints people.
What is more comforting to the terrorists around the world: the failure to pass the 9/11 legislation because we lacked a majority of the majority,' or putting aside partisan politics to enact tough new legislation with America's security foremost in mind?
We ceased to be a band the moment we made it. It left us with nothing. We felt like a failure although we had commercial success.
Failure is an awful thing, and when I look at the common denominator of failure, it seems to always be the same thing: excuses.
Nine out of ten people who are failing blame their failure on somebody else. And that is the common denominator of failure.
The Communist bloc of old was a study in the failure of failure. Losers in the Soviet economy were the people at the end of the long lines for consumer goods. Worse losers were the people who had spent hours getting to the head of the line, only to be told that the goods were unavailable.
Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.
The main failure of education is that it has not prepared people to comprehend matters concerning human destiny.
To establish true self-esteem we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.
My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
