As freedom for unrestricted development is enhanced, the possibilities for failure are also increased. The risk factor is great. My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure. The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.
Failure makes people cruel and bitter.
There are few pains so grievous as to have seen, divined, or experienced how an exceptional man has missed his way and deteriorated. In this game that we're playing, we can't win. Some kinds of failure are better than other kinds, that's all. What we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down. If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.
