file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by
mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice. -Albert Einstein

my best.” ― Marilyn Monroe
“Anyone who has never made a mistake has
never tried anything new.” ― Albert Einstein
I like someone who is a little crazy but

An awful lot of fantasy, and even some
great fantasy, falls into the mistake of assuming that a good man will be a
good king, that all that is necessary is to be a decent human being and when
you're king everything will go swimmingly. -George R. R. Martin

benefit of the masses which is the crowning glory of the nineteenth century, they
will soon discover their egregious mistake. -George Ripley
“It was one thing to make a mistake; it was
another thing to keep making it. I knew what happened when you let yourself get
close to someone, when you started to believe they loved you: you'd be
disappointed. Depend on someone, and you might as well admit you're going to be
crushed, because when you really needed them, they wouldn't be there. Either
that, or you'd confide in them and you added to their problems. All you ever
really had was yourself, and that sort of sucked if you were less than
reliable.” ― Jodi Picoult
“Smart people learn from their mistakes.
But the real sharp ones learn from the mistakes of others.” ― Brandon Mull

I must tell you I take terrible risks.
Because my playing is very clear, when I make a mistake you hear it. If you
want me to play only the notes without any specific dynamics, I will never make
one mistake. Never be afraid to dare. -Vladimir Horowitz
“I'm afraid that we all make mistakes. One
of the things that defines our character is how we handle mistakes. If we lie
about having made a mistake, then it can't be corrected and it festers. On the
other hand, if we give up just because we made a mistake, even a big mistake,
none of us would get far in life.” ― Terry Goodkind
The most valuable thing you can make is a
mistake - you can't learn anything from being perfect.-Adam Osborne

of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an
increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not. ” ― C.G. Jung
A common mistake that people make when trying
to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of
complete fools. -Douglas Adams
