The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan

The surest way to fail is not to determine to succeed.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan

The way that I work as an actress, I always prefer to read the whole story and tell the whole story and feel what the whole story's going to be, the journey for the audience and how it ebbs and flows, the highs and the lows.

Jes Macallan

The present rearranges the past. We never tell the story whole because a life isn't a story; it's a whole Milky Way of events and we are forever picking out constellations from it to fit who and where we are.

Rebecca Solnit

Failure is the most terrible thing in our business. When we fail, the whole world knows about it.

Desi Arnaz

Many mothers or daughters assume that words only mean one thing. 'If I feel criticised, that has to be the whole story', and 'if I feel I am being helpful, that has to be the whole story'.

Deborah Tannen

Conservative talk radio works because there are lots of conservatives who are convinced that they are not getting the whole story from the regular media.

Paul Weyrich

Don't raise your expectations too high. It's the surest way of being disappointed.

Mary Louisa Molesworth

I guess my whole thing has always been that nobody knows you except for yourself and nobody knows your story except for you and the people who you care about.

Mary Cain

I’ve been rereading your story. I think it’s about me in a way that might not be flattering, but that’s okay. We dream and dream of being seen as we really are and then finally someone looks at us and sees us truly and we fail to measure up. Anyway: story received, story included. You looked at me long enough to see something mysterioso under all the gruff and bluster. Thanks. Sometimes you get so close to someone you end up on the other side of them.

Richard Siken

I am a technophile, so there is no such thing as a first draft. The first draft plunges on, and about a quarter of the way through it I realise I'm doing things wrong, so I start rewriting it. What you call the first draft becomes rather like a caterpillar; it is progressing fairly slowly, but there is movement up and down its whole length, the whole story is being changed. I call this draft zero, telling myself how the story is supposed to go.

Terry Pratchett

No one else knows the whole story. I was there. I lived through it.

Christine Keeler

I have a rebellious nature, and being told no is almost the surest way to get me to do something.

Doug Liman

The surest way of being considered eccentric is just to be yourself. So few of us have the nerve.

Marjorie Benton Cooke

Faith is indeed the energy of our whole universe directed to the highest form of being. Faith gives stability to our view of the universe. By faith we are convinced that our impressions of things without are not dreams or delusions, but, for us, true representations of our environment. By faith we are convinced that the signs of permanence, order, progress, which we observe in nature are true. By faith we are convinced that fellowship is possible with our fellow man and with God.

Brooke Westcott

Every concert pianist knows that the surest way to ruin a performance is to be aware of what the fingers are doing. Every dancer and acrobat knows enough to let the mind go, let the body run itself. Every driver of a manual vehicle arrives at destinations with no recollection of the stops and turns and roads traveled in getting there. You are all sleepwalkers, whether climbing creative peaks or slogging through some mundane routine for the thousandth time. You are all sleepwalkers.

Peter Watts
