Failure begins not when you are beaten down but when you give up.

Minor rewording suggestion · posted 2009 by lboggs
The idea is excellent, but in the statement there is a mismatch between the plurality of cynicism and "ashes". Perhaps one of these minor rewordings:
1. Cynicism is the ash of belief.
2. In the ashes of our belief, we find only cynicism
Just a thought.

Actually there is (false) proof that 1 + 1 = 2. A hidden divide by zero pops up in the middle and most people will not catch it. Of course, now that we have the internet, the falseness of this proof should be known to most people interested in mathematical puzzles....
