More From Malcolm X

So you think that you're a failure, do you? well, you probably are. what's wrong with that? in the first place, if you've any sense at all you must have learned by now that we pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. go ahead and fail. but fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. a mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. embrace failure! seek it out. learn to love it. that may be the only way any of us will ever be free.

Jobs Self Hands
And when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish when we are alone we are afraid love will never return and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive
