A day late and a dollar short. Behind the eight ball. On the southern end of a northbound train. The Edsel. On a downhill slide. There’s no success like failure, and failure’s no success at all. Misfortune: The kind of fortune that never misses.
Luck can’t last a lifetime unless you die young. Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others. You don’t drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there. If at first you don’t succeed, failure may be your style. Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently. Failure to prepare is preparing to fail. If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error.
Only the mediocre are always at their best. Things don’t go wrong, they simply happen. The harder you fall, the higher you bounce. To hit bottom is to fall from grace. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail. There are moments when everything goes well, but don’t be frightened, it won’t last. Always expect the worst, and you will never be disappointed.
Every solution breeds new problems. Inside every large problem is a small problem struggling to get out. If you can’t learn to do it well, learn to enjoy doing it badly. Laugh at your problems; everybody else does.
We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.
