  • Modern Thought Proverbs

    These thought proverbs, anti-proverbs and axiomatic truths were created by Randy Hasper.

    A good proverb is like a good foot-bridge troll, short-statured, sturdy and armed with a vicious bite.

failure

Posted: January 31, 2012 in failure
Tags: a failure a day, a good education includes courses in failure, after failure we hide, failure, failure fuels the future, I feel like hiding, modern proverbs, original sin, proverbs about failure, sin, the fall

A failure a day keeps snootiness at bay.

If you want to learn from your failures, start a small business with very little capital and no experience.

Mercy is the anitvenom for failure’s poisonous bite.

Fear blames what understanding forgives.

A good education includes courses in failurization.

The failure that paralyzes the fool energizes the wise.

Failure weighs down the soul, but success brightens the spirit.

Family is familiar with failure.

After failure, we hide; truth seeks.

Fin fixes falls.

Failure fuels the future.
