The proposition is this: that in a time of war the commander of an armed force... has the power... to suspend all civil rights and their remedies, and subject citizens... to the rule of his will... If true, [our] republican government is a failure, and there is an end of liberty regulated by law.
– David Davis

Polls find young blacks less likely to call racism America's No. 1 issue. A Time/CNN poll found 89 percent of black teens consider racism in their own lives to be a small problem or not a problem at all. Twice as many black teens as white believe that failure to take advantage of available opportunities is a bigger problem for blacks than discrimination.

The government will join, notwithstanding its failure to prepare, its neglect in co-operating with its allies, or its inability to contribute. In the end it will join out of the necessity created by a pattern of uncertainty and indecision. It will not join as a leader but unnoticed at the back of the parade.
– Stephen Harper
My perspective on the second Bush Administration is, that for all of his big talk, it's going to be a failure. He is not going to get out of Iraq with clear-cut victory or clear-cut reconstruction, during his second term. It's going to take longer, if at all. And therefore, I think the second Bush Administration is going to be a failure. And probably, a disaster.
– Arthur Hertzberg
– Napoleon Hill
Failure should be nothing more than an embarrassment, like ending up in a gravel trap, rather than spending weeks in hospital.

We are ready to kill to keep our automobiles running. We're ready to kill to keep up our materialistic, wasteful economy...

I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do. I always have a fear of going one way or another, getting lost in something, or losing everything to get lost in. And I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society.
– Marilyn Manson
The panic of 1837, the contest of the United States Bank with President Jackson, its defeat, and its subsequent failure as a state bank, the consequent distress in local financial circles--all conspired to shift the monetary center of the country to New York.

Ladies and gentlemen, public schools throughout Pennsylvania are in crisis, and while it is true that money alone cannot fix these problems, it is also true that if we fail to adequately invest in our children, then we will succeed only in purchasing Pennsylvania's economic failure on the installment plan.
– Edward G. Rendell
Kids in our urban schools, most of them minorities, are not succeeding at anywhere near the rate of their counterparts in the suburbs. And let me be clear: the failure of our urban schools to prepare our children today for the challenges of tomorrow is the civil rights issue of our generation.
