FAMOUS PETS

ON: FAILURE

OSCAR WILDE Observes:

To have a talent in a certain skill, and to fail at it is far worse than simple failure, as one then lacks an easily defensible excuse for the failure.  

MARK TWAIN Remarks:

I have a certain skillful talent for easily defending my failures.  I only wish that I could devise a means of profiting by it.
