“Thinking in terms of two realms understands the paired concepts worldy-Christia n, natural-superna tural, profane-sacred, rational-revela tions, as ultimate static opposites...and fails to recognize the original unity of these opposites in the Christ-reality.” ThinkingTwoRealityTermChristNaturalFailingConceptsOppositesUltimateOriginalsSacredUnityRationalRealmsStaticProfane Author:Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“After more than two decades of trying to destroy the firearms rights of more than 80 million law-abiding American gun owners - and statistically failing to show any impact on violent crime - the Brady 'Campaign Against Illegal Guns' is yet another crusade whose ultimate goal is to trample the Second Amendment into dust.” TryingTwoShowsLawGoalMillionsRightsFailingCrimeGunUltimateImpactDecadesCampaignsViolentDustOwnersIllegalAmendmentsAbidingSecond AmendmentFirearmsUltimate GoalCrusadesBradyGun OwnersViolent CrimesIllegal Guns Author:Alan Gottlieb
“In urging all writers to be steadfast in reliance on the ultimate victory of excellence, we should no less strenuously urge upon them to beware of the intemperate arrogance which attributes failure to a degraded condition of the public mind. The instinct which leads the world to worship success is not dangerous. The book which succeeds accomplishes its aim. The book which fails may have many excellencies, but they must have been misdirected.” WorldShouldMindMayHas BeensBookFailingConditionsDangerousVictorySucceedWorshipUltimateAimExcellenceInstinctAccomplishArroganceUrgesAttributesRelianceSteadfast Book:The Principles of Success in Literature Source: The Principles of Success in Literature

“Many businessmen fail to understand Python principles--the ultimate absurdity was an offer from America to buy the 'format' of the Python shows, that is, Monty Python without the Pythons--corporate methods do not have the conceptual framework to deal with an anarchist collective, run by intelligent and arrogant comedians who have proved that their method works.” MenShowsGovernmentRunningAmericaSinDealsPrinciplesFailingFailurePrideFriendsOffersUltimateIntelligentMethodChaosIntelligenceCorporateComedianCollectivesAnarchyArrogantAbsurdityBusinessmanFrameworkAnarchistFormatPythonMontyConceptual Framework Author:Robert Hewison
“The entire history of baby formula has been the history of one overlooked nutrient after another...and still to this day babies fed on the most "nutritionally complete" formula fail to do as well as babies fed human milk.

“Failing to induce adulation and submissiveness, the Angkar could only generate hatred. If concealment was the ultimate ploy for the leadership, it backfired and whipped up abhorrence in the context of total revolution. This might be one of the explanations why repression assumed proportions unknown in other Communist countries. The mask of Angkar was a good tactic to grab power, but it proved disastrous in government.” IfsCountryGovernmentMightFailingRevolutionHatredUltimateExplanationProportionMaskCommunistTacticsRepressionAbhorrenceConcealmentAdulationPloy Author:Pol Pot

“It is not realistic or hard-headed to solve problems and take action unguided by ultimate moral aims and values, although we all know some who claim that it is so. In my judgement, it is thoughtless folly. For it ignores the realities of human faith and of passion and of belief; forces ultimately more powerful than all the calculations of our economists or of our generals. Of course to adhere to standards, to idealism, to vision in the face of immediate dangers takes great courage and takes self-confidence. But we also know that only those who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly.” KnowsHumansSelfProblemRealityActionFacesValuesPassionCoursesBeliefForcePowerfulMoralVisionFailingAchieveDangerJudgmentStandardsUltimateClaimsAimDareSolveSelf ConfidenceFollyRealisticIdealismEconomistCalculations Author:Robert Kennedy
