If I have any
justification for having lived it's simply, I'm nothing but
faults, failures and so on, but I have tried to make a good
pair of shoes. There's some value in that.
-- Arthur Miller
1915-, American Dramatist
It says
nothing against the ripeness of a spirit that it has a few
worms.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
1844-1900, German Philosopher
The first
faults are theirs that commit them, the second theirs that
permit them.
-- English Proverb
Sayings of British Origin
In the stress
of modern life, how little room is left for that most
comfortable vanity that whispers in our ears that failures
are not faults! Now we are taught from infancy that we must
rise or fall upon our own merits; that vigilance wins
success, and incapacity means ruin.
-- Agnes Repplier
1858-1950, American Author,
Social Critic
