Horrid quotes[edit]

Full of fluff, this page has little real meaning. It isn't useful. Most of these quotes treat failure as a negative, provide no insights and teach nothing. 71.212.148.31 17:19, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Failure in Buddhism[edit]

About this quote, it is about the concept of failure in Buddhism, one of the main world religions. It's not tangengial because, as Wikipedia states, "the criteria for failure depends on context, and may be relative to a particular observer or belief system." Failure to achieve one of the main objectives in a major belief system IS directly connected to the subject. Robin Loup (talk) 02:36, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
