Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure.

The will to persevere is often the difference between failure and success.

Failure is simply the non-presence of success. But a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.

I believe in trusting men, not only once but twice - in giving a failure another chance.

Within the U.S., the Obama presidency will be mainly measured by the success or failure of his economic policies. And here, I fear, the monstrous stimulus package with which this administration stumbled out of the gate will prove to be Obama's Waterloo.
