"Class has a sense of humor. It knows that a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations. Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes. Class bespeaks an aristocracy unrelated to ancestors or money. Some extremely wealthy people have no class at all, while others who are struggling to make ends meet are loaded with it. Class is real. You can't fake it. Class never tries to build itself up by tearing others down. Class is already up and need not attempt to look better by making others look worse. Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because he is comfortable with himself. If you have class, you've got it made. If you don't have class, no matter what else you have, it won't make up for it."	Ann Landers
"Remember your past mistakes just long enough to profit by them."	Dan McKinnon
"The essence of success is that it is never necessary to think of a new idea oneself. It is far better to wait until somebody else does it, and then to copy him in every detail, except his mistakes."	Aubrey Menen
"The sooner you make your first five thousand mistakes the sooner you will be able to correct them."	Kimon Nicolaides
"Just because you make mistakes doesn't mean you are one."	Author Unknown
"Truth will sooner come out of error than from confusion."	Francis Bacon
"I daresay one profits more by the mistakes one makes off one's own bat than by doing the right thing on somebody's else advice."	W. Somerset Maugham
