From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own.
The study of the errors into which great minds have fallen in the pursuit of truth can never be uninstructive. . . No man is so wise but that he may learn some wisdom from his past errors, either of thought or action, and no society has made such advances as to be capable of no improvement from the retrospect of its past folly and credulity.
To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.
They say a wise man learns from others mistakes, I learn from others success, why pay attention to the mistakes?
A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
A wise man knows; learn from others, never get complacent and know where the classic old dangers come from.
He who cannot learn by others' mistakes is stupid. He who cannot learn by his own errors is a fool.
I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers.. I welcome it. This Administration intends to be candid about its errors; for as a wise man once said: "An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it." We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors; and we expect you to point them out when we miss them.
The secret of the enjoyment of pleasure is to know when to stop. Man doesn't learn this secret easily, but to shun pleasure altogether is cowardly avoidance of a difficult job. For we have to learn the art of enjoying things BECAUSE they are impermanent.
The man who can keep a secret may be wise, but he is not half as wise as the man with no secrets to keep.
It is ignorance that is at times incomprehensible to the wise; for instance, he may not see 'the positive person' or 'the negative person' in a black and white way as many people do. A wise man may not understand it because, as a catalyst of wisdom, but not wise in his own eyes, even he can learn from and give back to fools. To think that an individual has absolutely nothing to offer to the table is counter-intuitively what the wise man considers to be 'the ignorance of hopelessness'.
The Errors of a Wise Man make your Rule Rather than the Perfections of a Fool.
While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.
Since, therefore, no man is born without faults, and he is esteemed the best whose errors are the least, let the wise man consider everything human as connected with himself; for in worldly affairs there is no perfect happiness under heaven.
The errors of a wise man are literally more instructive than the truths of a fool. The wise man travels in lofty, far-seeing regions; the fool in low-lying, high-fenced lanes; retracing the footsteps of the former, to discover where he diviated, whole provinces of the universe are laid open to us; in the path of the latter, granting even that he has not deviated at all, little is laid open to us but two wheel-ruts and two hedges.
A man cannot learn to be wise any more than he can learn to be handsome.
