Failures as...

...one can, one must

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What one can be, one must be.
-Abraham Maslow, psychologist (1908-1970)

...asked to dance

Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance. 

-Verna Myers, author and speaker (b. 5 Apr 1960)

...more than one

Never bear more than one trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds -- all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.
-Edward Everett Hale, author (1822-1909)

...bring some

You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate.
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today.
-Marvin Gaye, singer and songwriter (1939-1984)
