PHILOSOPHY > philosopher, psychologist > William James
Failure, then, failure!...
Vendor: PHILOSOPHY
Failure, then, failure! so the world stamps us at every turn. We strew it with our blunders, our misdeeds, our lost opportunities, with all the memorials of our inadequacy to our vocation. And with what a damning emphasis does it then blot us out!
