Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Robert Frank

Would you like me to give you a formula for ... success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure... You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all... You can be discouraged by failure -- or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side of failure. (Thomas J. Watson, founder, IBM)

Concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket... (Andrew Carnegie)

No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Sir Winston Churchill

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge

Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
Pete Seeger
