Failure Quote by Joachim Fest
““The maxim had often helped him, at any rate, and even saved him from making some wrong decisions, because he had rarely made a mistake when he had followed his own judgment alone. He put a piece of paper in front of each of us and dictated: “Etiam si omnes—ego non! It’s from the Gospel According to St. Matthew,””
![“persuading himself that he was a most conscientious and glorious martyr, [he] nobly resolved to do what, if he had examined his own heart a little more carefully, he would have found he could not resist. Such is the sleight of hand by which we juggle with ourselves, and change our very weaknesses…” quote by Charles Dickens](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/686/charles-dickens-34_character_persuading-himself-that-he-was-a-most-co_2393256.jpg)
