Quote by H. Ross Perot

Failures are like skinned knees, painful but superficial.

Failures are like skinned knees, painful but superficial.

Summary

This quote suggests that failures, although they may cause us discomfort and temporary pain, are not as significant as they may seem. Similar to skinned knees, they are superficial wounds that can be healed over time. It indicates that failures are a natural part of life and should not be dwelled upon or seen as something impactful. Rather, they are opportunities for growth and learning, ultimately having less lasting impact than we initially fear.

All of us are infected today with an extraordinary egoism. And that is not freedom; freedom means learning to demand only of oneself, not of life and others, and knowing how to give: sacrifice in the name of love.
