“The guns and the bombs, the rockets and the warships, are all symbols of human failure.”– Lyndon B. Johnson Related Quotes “But we fall only that we might rise, Alfred. All of us fall; all of us, as you say, screw up. Falling is not important. It is how we get up after the fall that’s important.”— Rick Yancey “America traditionally represents the greatest possibility of someone’s going from nothing to something. Why? In theory, if not practice, the government stays out of the way and lets individuals take risks and reap rewards or accept the consequences of failure. We call this capitalism – or, at least, we used to.”– Larry Elder “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.”– Henry Ford
