Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.
But our system of regulation must keep up with this. If it fails to keep up, it will hold back economic expansion. We need financial market regulation that works at national and European level.

If the film is a hit, people talk about the hard work, but if it fails, they may not notice, but I give my best for all films.
When you’re doing stand-up, you can comment if something fails, get a laugh from that.
The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent, experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it, if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
In architecture, Palladio is the game. It means hard thought all through – if it is labored, it fails.
I’m continually inspired by nature, and the rainbow is one of nature’s greatest optical phenomenons. The sighting of a rainbow never fails to bring a smile to people’s faces. They signify optimism and positivity: with them comes the sunshine after the rain.
We aren’t upset when Paramount makes a $200 million movie that flops, but if a charity experiments with a $5 million fundraising event that fails, we call in the attorneys. So charities are petrified of trying bold new revenue-generating endeavors and can’t develop the powerful learning curves the for-profit sector can.
It fails everybody, pretty much, the American Dream, but people are driven by it. I don’t think we’re driven by the same sense of hope in Europe. We’re driven by pessimism more.

If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error.
High-level, big-deal publicity has a way of getting old for me, but what never fails to thrill me is when I make personal appearances.
We cannot explain the phenomenon of gravitational lensing without general relativity, and this is where MOND spectacularly fails.
Franklin Roosevelt said the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance to those who have much; it is whether we provide enough to those who have too little. This reconciliation package fails that test as well.
I want to say something in a tough-love kind of way about crop insurance. Let’s face it: You don’t buy insurance on your house hoping it will burn down. Neither do we want to buy crop insurance and hope our crop fails so we can file.
Since most cyberwar is conducted covertly, governments avoid any public acknowledgment of their own abilities and shy away from engaging in any sort of ‘cyber diplomacy.’ Statecraft conducted in secret fails to create public norms for deterrence.
It would seem that the ant works its way tentatively, and, observing where it fails, tries another place and succeeds.
Even after being diagnosed with Covid-19, Bolsonaro fails to take this virus seriously and is directly targeting vulnerable indigenous communities by failing to provide them with adequate funding to address this pandemic. It’s an attack on human rights.
In our brief national history we have shot four of our presidents, worried five of them to death, impeached one and hounded another out of office. And when all else fails, we hold an election and assassinate their character.
What you find when you live in the United States, you live in the West, is that when somebody fails, it’s never their fault. They always like to blame somebody other than themselves for a failure.
I’m just trying to follow the footsteps of God. I don’t question him. Just keep moving. He never fails. He always amazes me. It’s like, damn, the sky isn’t the limit.
Government loses its claim to legitimacy when it fails to fulfill its obligations.
So it is in poetry. All we ask is that the mood recorded shall impress us as having been of the kind that exhausts the imaginative capacity; if it fails to do this the failure will announce itself either in prose or in insignificant verse.
It’s a misconception that singers in Punjab use music as a backup in case their acting fails. For me, singing is the front, it’s not the backup, it was acting that happened by chance.
If my film fails, I never think it was because the script was weak.
Every time I do a dance track it’s like I’ll get a heart attack, because it depends heavily on the video, the hook line, the stars and the promotion. Any of these factors fail, the song fails.
If the Confederacy fails, there should be written on its tombstone: Died of a Theory.
‘Too big to fail’ is fine for restaurant chains. If Denny’s fails, it’s fine for this economy. You can always go down to the TGIFs. But that’s not the same for large-scale investment companies.
The woman is a gentle, loving bond who encourages, consoles, builds, reconciles, and makes all things new and vibrant. The woman is strength in time of suffering, courageous in failure, intuitive in time of danger. A woman is ingenuous when all fails, resourceful in times of want, and a true helpmate for man.
I still feel that a movie has to attempt to say something – even if it fails miserably. But I’ve sort of given up on believing that I’m going to change the world with every film I choose to act in.
No, I was not into cake fails before hosting ‘Nailed It.’
The Afghan security forces will always have the help of the U.S. American military to ensure that Afghanistan never fails.
We have never observed infinity in nature. Whenever you have infinities in a theory, that’s where the theory fails as a description of nature. And if space was born in the Big Bang, yet is infinite now, we are forced to believe that it’s instantaneously, infinitely big. It seems absurd.
If thy heart fails thee, climb not at all.
He that fails in his endeavors after wealth or power will not long retain either honesty or courage.
Yes, good presentation is a vehicle for enhancing people and policies. But if the presentation fails, we have to look beyond the wrapping and see what is actually contained in the package, to see the substance of it.
We should not approve an agreement that fails to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and does nothing to address Iranian behavior that threatens our allies and our interests.
I wanted to repeat we cannot vote confidence at any point on a confidence motion in a government that fails to have a climate target that’s ground in science and consistent with what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says we must do.
Television is ultimately a business of failure. You try a lot of things, and most of it fails.
Celebrating failure is key. Half of what we do fails, at least.
There should be reluctance to make a national policy so inflexible that it fails to take into account the country’s diversity.
If all else fails and you don’t know what to wear, put on a black dress, and you’ll be happy.
Sometimes in cricket nothing is automatic; when automatic fails you need some fuel.
A company that can’t fire people well is like a forest that never has a fire. It becomes overgrown, full of weeds, and it fails.

It is commonly said that a teacher fails if he has not been surpassed by his students. There has been no failure on our part in this regard considering how far they have gone.
If all else fails, the character of a man can be recognized by nothing so surely as by a jest which he takes badly.
When an attacker fails with one person, they often go to another person. The key is to report the attack to other departments. Workers should know to act like they are going along with what the hacker wants and take copious notes so the company will know what the hacker is trying to find.
