It doesn't matter what your probability of failure is. If there's a 90% chance of failure, there's a 10% chance of changing the world.

If a guy tells me the probability of failure is 1 in 100,000, I know he's full of crap.

Richard P. Feynman

Probability and expectation are not the same. Its probability and probability times the pay off.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

It has been pointed out already that no knowledge of probabilities, less in degree than certainty, helps us to know what conclusions are true, and that there is no direct relation between the truth of a proposition and its probability. Probability begins and ends with probability.

John Maynard Keynes

It was our use of probability theory as logic that has enabled us to do so easily what was impossible for those who thought of probability as a physical phenomenon associated with "randomness". Quite the opposite; we have thought of probability distributions as carriers of information.

Edwin Thompson Jaynes

I knew I was not a failure in any way, and so did those close to me. It doesn't matter if you fall short; it is never a failure to go after your goals with everything you've got.

Michael Phelps

According to theism, if a universe is to have any probability of existing, this probability is dependent upon God's beliefs, desires and creative acts. But the Hartle-Hawking probability is not dependent on any supernatural considerations; Hartle and Hawking do not sum over anything supernatural in their path integral derivation of the probability amplitude.

Quentin Smith

Failure to meditate in the morning increases the probability of chaos throughout the day.

Joe Sacco

Failure saves lives. In the airline industry, every time a plane crashes the probability of the next crash is lowered by that.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The grand assertion is that you must see the world through probability and that probability is the only guide you need.

Dennis Lindley

Past experience, on the shuttle and the Titan rockets, suggests that large multi-segment solid rockets have a probability of failure of 0.5 to 1 per cent.

Henry Spencer

A mind filled with negative thoughts makes you feel miserable and inadequate and will lead to failure after failure no matter how hard you try to succeed.

Steve Backley

The probability that we will get into a car accident is a million times higher than the probability we will suffer as a result of terrorist act.

Pavel Durov

The vast majority of large scale change efforts fail. Which means that the probability that you have actually experienced a failure, and your people know that and are pessimistic, therefore, about trying something again, is very high.

John P. Kotter

The risk of an investment is described by both the probability and the potential amount of loss. The risk of an investment-the probability of an adverse outcome-is partly inherent in its very nature. A dollar spent on biotechnology research is a riskier investment than a dollar used to purchase utility equipment. The former has both a greater probability of loss and a greater percentage of the investment at stake.
