You need to know how to fail so beautifully, that it looks just like winning! These two things, you hear? But that man only knows how to win and when you don't know how to fail, you miss some of the best turns in life.

You get lost on the map, at the race, and you end up in places you thought you'd never be: those are always the best stories. But you'll never have that in life if all you know how to do is win, if you don't know how to get lost. You have got to know how to fail, too. You don't wanna be like that man. Part of being a winner, is knowing how to fail beautifully.”

“That man, I think, has had a liberal education who has been so trained in his youth that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with ease and pleasure all the work that, as a mechanism, it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear, cold, logic engine, with all its parts of equal strength, and in smooth working order; ready, like a steam engine, to be turned to any kind of work, and spin the gossamers as well as force the anchors of the mind; whose mind is stored with a knowledge of the great and fundamental truths of Nature and of the laws of her operations; one who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life and fire, but knows passions are trained to come to heel by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience; who has learned to love all beauty, whether of Nature or of art, to hate all vileness, and to respect others as himself. Such a one and no other, I conceive, has had a liberal education, for he is in harmony with nature. He will make the best of her and she of him.”
