Lord, deliver me from the man who never makes a mistake, and also from the man who makes the same mistake twice.

William J. Mayo

I think it's a mistake to say that to be a healthy, well-adjusted person you need a monogamous relationship.

Jordan Gavaris

There is one excuse for every mistake a man can make, but only one. When a fellow makes the same mistake twice he's got to throw up both hands and own up to carelessness or cussedness.

George Horace Lorimer

Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is to not make the same mistake twice.

Stephanie Perkins

For me, the sign of a bad player is someone who makes the same mistake twice.

Eric Dier

you never make the same mistake twice. the second time you make it, it is no longer a mistake. it is a choice

Lauren Conrad

Twice two makes four seems to me simply a piece of insolence. Twice two makes four is a pert coxcomb who stands with arms akimbo barring your path and spitting. I admit that twice two makes four is an excellent thing, but if we are to give everything its due, twice two makes five is sometimes a very charming thing too.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

For a smart material to be able to send out a more complex signal it needs to be nonlinear. If you hit a tuning fork twice as hard it will ring twice as loud but still at the same frequency. That's a linear response. If you hit a person twice as hard they're unlikely just to shout twice as loud. That property lets you learn more about the person than the tuning fork.

Neil Gershenfeld

My half-sister was born without a cerebellum and is completely disabled. She is my biggest motivator and inspiration, because her situation makes me realize how special life is, and I always want to work twice as hard, enjoy life twice as much so that I can enjoy it for her as well.

Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters

The same person who would never raise his hand in a lecture hall of two hundred people might blog to two thousand, or two million, without thinking twice. The same person who finds it difficult to introduce himself to strangers might establish a presence online and then extend these relationships into the real world.

Susan Cain

If an architect makes a mistake, he grows ivy to cover it. If a doctor makes a mistake, he covers it with soil. If a cook makes a mistake, he covers it with some sauce and says it is a new recipe.

Paul Bocuse

I'm the kind of guy who only makes a mistake once, never twice.

Georges St-Pierre

Good teams don't make the same mistake twice.

Terrell Suggs

I can't accept "our nervous age," since mankind has been nervous during every age. Whoever fears nervousness should turn into a sturgeon or smelt; if a sturgeon makes a stupid mistake, it can only be one: to end up on a hook, and then in a pan in a pastry shell.
