MISTAKES

There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.

David Augsnurger

A man's errors are his portals of discovery.
James Joyce

Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.
Vincent Van Gogh

Mistakes are the portals of discovery.
James Joyce

There exists a black kingdom which the eyes of man avoid because its landscape fails signally to flatter them. This darkness, which he imagines he can dispense with in describing the light, is error with its unknown characteristics. Error is certainty's constant companion. Error is the corollary of evidence. And anything said about truth may equally well be said about error: the delusion will be no greater.
Louis Aragon

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Franklin P. Jones

Most of my advances were by mistake. You uncover what is when you get rid of what isn't.
Buckminster Fuller

Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.
Og Mandino

Don't argue for other people's weaknesses. Don't argue for your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from it -- immediately.

I do not fear failure. I only fear the ''slowing up'' of the engine inside of me which is pounding, saying, ''Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?''
George S. Patton

When I reflect, as I frequently do, upon the felicity I have enjoyed, I sometimes say to myself, that were the offer made me, I would engage to run again, from beginning to end, the same career of life. All I would ask, should be the privilege of an author, to correct in a second edition, certain errors of the first.
Benjamin Franklin

It is worse than a crime: it is a mistake.
Joseph Fouche

The value of action is that we make mistakes; mistakes show us what we need to learn.

More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren't so busy denying them.
Harold J. Smith

The greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often compounded of a multitude of strands. Take the rope apart, separate it into the small threads that compose it, and you can break them one by one. You think, ''That is all there was!'' But twist them all together and you have something tremendous.
Victor Hugo

Truth is immortal; error is mortal.

Don't be afraid to fail. Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It's OK to fail. If you're not failing, you're not growing.
H. Stanley Judd

It is necessary for you to learn from others' mistakes. You will not live long enough to make them all yourself.
Hyman G. Rickover

Be aware that young people have to be able to make their own mistakes and that times change.
Gina Shapira

Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind's faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which stemma to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity --namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.
Mary Baker Eddy

There is nothing wrong with making mistakes. Just don't respond with errors.
