War is failure of diplomacy.

If we do not get No Child Left Behind right for Limited English Proficient students, the law will be a failure for most schools in the 15th Congressional District, and for many across the nation.

Failure is what we're all running from, we're always running toward success with failure at our back.

I feel that 'The Great Failure' is really a book written out of great love and a willingness to face all of who a human being is.

The rise of China as a new power is another great challenge for the US. Our failure to properly handle Germany and Japan earlier in the 20th century cost us and the world dearly. We must not make this same mistake with China.

Our failure to properly deal with Germany and Japan early cost the world dearly later on. We dare not make the same mistake with China.

I was brought up to believe that there is no such thing as failure as long as I'm trying my best. So I've had a 'blood, guts and glory' approach through my whole life.

Well, I think first of all there was a failure to have real, clear information at our disposal. There was a real lack of situational awareness. We didn't have the capabilities on the ground to give us real-time, accurate assessments of the physical condition of the city.

I wish I had been more prepared, both for success and for failure, when I was younger.
