I think the greatest taboos in America are faith and failure.

Sometimes a noble failure serves the world as faithfully as a distinguished success.

I believe my publisher has shown a great deal of faith in me over a lot of years but I'm not prepared to be so arrogant to say that the long-term literary value of my work would compensate them for a financial failure.

The attributes for entrepreneurs cut both ways. You need the ability to ignore inconvenient facts and see the world as it should be and not as it is. This inspires people to take huge leaps of faith. But this blindness to facts can be a liability too. The characteristics that help entrepreneurs succeed can also lead to their failure.

There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man's lack of faith in his true Self.

By presenting a faithful and honest record of my experience as a mother I hope to show both my readers and my children how truth can redeem even what you fear might be the gravest of sins.

My faith experience well as you can imagine you need a lot of faith to raise five boys.

I had great faith in Irish actors that they'd be hip to the whole theatre thing and they are. I had no illusions of coming over here as some kind of big shot. It's been a learning experience for me too.

Given that religious faith is an intrinsic element of human experience it is best to approach and engage the subject with a sense of history and a critical sensibility.

If your faith is opposed to experience to human learning and investigation it is not worth the breath used in giving it expression.

To 'choose' dogma and faith over doubt and experience is to throw out the ripening vintage and to reach greedily for the Kool-Aid.

The only faith that wears well and holds its color in all weathers is that which is woven of conviction and set with the sharp mordant of experience.

I don't have to have faith I have experience.

Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.

Now they have come to the place where their faith can no longer feed on the bread of repression and violence. They ask for the bread of liberty of public equality and public responsibility. It must not be denied them.

Propelled by freedom of faith gender equality and economic justice for all India will become a modern nation. Minor blemishes cannot cloak the fact that India is becoming such a modern nation: no faith is in danger in our country and the continuing commitment to gender equality is one of the great narratives of our times.

My mother was the influence in my life. She was strong she had great faith in the ultimate triumph of justice and hard work. She believed passionately in education.

You see some non-Catholic friends of mine have questioned the depth of my faith because of the fact that I have a good education.

We had great faith that with patience understanding and education that my family and I could be helpful in changing their minds and attitudes around.

But instead of standing up for reason our government is handing education over to the world of faith.

Education is extremely important to the Hispanic community as well as faith and certainly working hard.

As a proud Catholic I know the impact that faith-based education can have in our society and have witnessed it first hand in my district.

I respect faith but doubt is what gives you an education.

Anyone who knows history particularly the history of Europe will I think recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.
