"A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery."
James Joyce
"Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself, And know that everything in this life has purpose. There are no mistakes, No coincidences, All events are blessings given to us to learn from."
Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
"There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events are blessings given to us to learn from."
Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
"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
"A lot of people mistake a short memory for a clear conscience."
Doug Larson
"I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false is guilty of falsehood, and the accidental truth of the assertion does not justify or excuse him."
Abraham Lincoln
"While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior."
Henry C. Link
"Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life."
Sophia Loren
"Men make the mistake of thinking that because women can't see the sense in violence, they must be passive creatures. It's just not true. In one important way, at least, men are the passive sex. Given a choice, they will always opt for the status quo. They hate change of any kind, and they fight against it constantly. On the other hand, what women want is stability, which when you stop to think about it is a very different animal."
Eric Lustbader
"The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything."
William Connor Magee
"It's always helpful to learn from your mistakes because then your mistakes seem worthwhile."
Garry Marshall
"A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them."
John C. Maxwell
"The whole campaign was a tragic case of mistaken identity."
George Stanley McGovern
"Remember your past mistakes just long enough to profit by them."
Dan McKinnon
"It's no accident many accuse me of conducting public affairs with my heart instead of my head. Well, what if I do? ... Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart don't know how to laugh either."
Golda Meir
"To be in love is merely to be in a state of perceptual anesthesia--to mistake an ordinary young man for a Greek god or an ordinary young woman for a goddess."
Henry Louis Mencken
"Love is the mistaken belief that one woman differs from another."
Henry Louis Mencken
"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
"No one is exempt from talking nonsense; the mistake is to do it solemnly."
Michel Eyquem de Montaigne
"The sooner you make your first five thousand mistakes the sooner you will be able to correct them."
Kimon Nicolaides
