Best Quotes about Mistakes

There is no original truth, only original error.

Bachelard, Gaston

MISTAKES are the stepping stones that lead to future accomplishments.

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.

Judd, H. Stanley

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.

Hugh White

11.

It is said that only a fool learns from his own mistakes, a wise man from the mistakes of others.

12.

Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.

Pearl Buck

13.

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!

Lichtenberg, Georg C.

27.

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.

Mandino, Og
