The moral turpitude of the boys of today appears to center in their failure to concentrate on any particular objective long enough to obtain their maximum results.

Modernity, the child of the Enlightenment, failed when it became apparent that the good society cannot be achieved by unaided reason.
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.
Guided by nothing but pop culture values, many children no longer learn how to think about morality and virtue, or to think of them at all. They grow up with no shared moral framework, believing that the highest values are diversity, tolerance and non-judgmentalism.
Concentration and mental toughness are the margins of victory.
Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.
Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.
You know what 'FAILING' stands for? It stands for 'Finding An Important Lesson, Inviting Needed Growth.'
Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.
The person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy, inevitable part of the process of getting to the top.
The greatest moral failing is to condemn something as a moral failing: no vice is worse than being judgmental.
