All BENJAMIN FRANKLIN Quotes about “Failing”

“Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.”
“History affords us many instances of the ruin of states, by the prosecution of measures ill suited to the temper and genius of their people. The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. ... These measures never fail to create great and violent jealousies and animosities between the people favored and the people oppressed; whence a total separation of affections, interests, political obligations, and all manner of connections, by which the whole state is weakened.”
“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!”
“The one who fails to prepare is preparing to fail.”
“You must always be prepared. Make sure to look at things from all angles. If you are not prepared you will fail.”
