"A failure is a man who has blundered but is not able to cash in on the experience." -Elbert Hubbard
An American philosopher and editor, Elbert Hubbard covered the sinking of the Titanic. Three years later, he was with his wife Alice aboard the Lusitania when it, too, sank; when it became apparent that they had no hope for escape, the couple calmly entered a room on the ship so that they would die together instead of being separated. "If I can help people," Hubbard once wrote, "I'll do it by giving them a chance to help themselves; and if I can uplift or inspire, let it be by example... I desire to be radiant -- to radiate life."
