Any man may make a mistake, but none but a fool will continue in it.
No man every became great a good except through many and great mistakes.
When you make a mistake don’t look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.
The only people who make no mistakes are dead people. I saw a man last week who has not made a mistake for four thousand years. He was a mummy in the Egyptian department of the British Museum.
It is only an error in judgment to make a mistake, but it shows infirmity of character to adhere to it when discovered.
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success; we often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
Show us the man who never makes a mistake and we will show a man who never makes anything. The capacity for occasional blundering Is inseparable from the capacity to bring things to pass. The only men who are past the danger of making mistakes are the men who sleep at Greenwood.
Some of the best lessons we ever learn we learn from our mistake and failures. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.
There are few, very few, that will own themselves in a mistake, though all the world see them to be in downright nonsense.
No persons are more frequently wrong, than those who will not admit they are wrong.
The providence that watches over the affairs of men, works out their mistakes, at times, to a healthier issue than could have been accomplished by their wisest forethought.
The young fancy that their follies are mistaken by the old for happiness; and the old fancy that their gravity is mistaken by the young for wisdom.
Exemption from mistake is not the privilege of mortals; but when our mistakes are involuntary, we owe each other every candid consideration; and the man who, on discovering his errors, acknowledges and corrects them, is scarcely less entitled to our esteem than if he had not erred.
Earth bears no balsam for mistakes;
Men crown the knave, and scourge the tool
That did his will; but thou, O Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool.
Yes, Once many, many years ago. I thought I had made a wrong decision. Of course, it turned out that I had been right all along. But I was wrong to have thought that I was wrong.
The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.
The follies which a man regrets the most in his life, are those which he didn’t commit when he had the opportunity.
