I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.

Robert H. Schuller

What we attempt to do is not without danger. What we attempt to do may not succeed. But it is right and it is just. We act for the good of all.

Kate Mosse

The risk pertinent to a particular attempt (and to its evaluation as an attempt of its sort) is the risk that the agent will fail to attain the end constitutive of that attempt. This risk of failure is coordinate with how likely or unlikely it may be that the agent will then succeed.

Ernest Sosa

Ulysses ... is a dogged attempt to cover the universe with mud, an inverted Victorianism, an attempt to make crossness and dirt succeed where sweetness and light failed, a simplification of the human character in the interests of Hell.

E. M. Forster

Success is better than failure; an attempt is a better attempt, it is better as an attempt, if competent than if incompetent; and it is better to succeed through competence - aptly - than through sheer luck.

Ernest Sosa

We are not going to succeed in everything we attempt in life. That's a guarantee. In fact, the more we do in life, the more chance there is not to succeed in some things. But what a rich life we are having! Win or lose, we just keep winning.

Susan Jeffers

You will be judged by what you succeed at gentlemen, not by what you attempt

Clement Attlee

I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.

Richard Linklater

There is nothing as likely to succeed as what the enemy believes you cannot attempt.

Niccolo Machiavelli

Any attempt to dilute my support for Sen. Obama will not succeed.

Jesse Jackson

Half the things that people do not succeed in are through fear of making the attempt.

James Northcote

I personally believe that when you attempt something with your loved one, you are bound to succeed.

Lara Dutta

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being, but it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

Octavio Paz

A lot of people are afraid to succeed and don't want to fail but if you don't attempt, aren't you already failing in the same spot?

Behdad Sami

Either well succeed, or we wont succeed. And the definition of success as I described is sectarian violence down. Success is not no violence.

George W. Bush

You always want to try, in everything you do, to attempt something you've never tried before, and the only way to succeed at that is through failure, and the only way to succeed through failure is just banging your head against the wall over and over until you get to that interesting thing on the other side.

Beau Willimon
