Quote by Paulo Coelho

I think you can have 10,000 explanations for failure, but no good explanation for success.

I think you can have 10,000 explanations for failure, but no

Summary

This quote suggests that there can be numerous reasons and excuses for why someone fails at something, but achieving success does not have a singular or simple explanation. Failure can often be attributed to various factors such as lack of preparation, external circumstances, or personal flaws. On the other hand, success is often multifaceted and influenced by a combination of hard work, opportunity, talent, timing, and other unpredictable elements. Therefore, while failure can be analyzed and justified in different ways, success is a more complex and elusive concept that cannot be easily explained.

If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderfu

If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient at others, so bewildered and so weak and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control We are, to be sure, a miracle every way but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out.
