If you realize you aren't so wise today as you thought you were yesterday, you're wiser today.

Olin Miller

To acknowledge you were wrong yesterday is simply to let the world know that you are wiser today than you were then.

Jonathan Swift

Rather than admit a mistake, nations have gone to war, families have separated, and good people have sacrificed everything dear to them. Admitting that you were wrong is just another way of saying that you are wiser today than yesterday.

Don Ward

Alexander Pope

When you come to see you are not as wise today as you thought you were yesterday, you are wiser today.

Realistic expectations for life are that we are going to be better today than we were yesterday, be better tomorrow than we were today. That's a plan for success. So [the key is] simple: just work.

Jim Harbaugh

Charles Spurgeon

I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

Abraham Lincoln

There were many moments in the Vine like that one--where you might think today was yesterday, and yesterday was tomorrow, and so on. Because we all believed we were tragic, and we drank. We had that helpless, destined feeling. We would die with handcuffs on. We would be put a stop to, and it wouldn't be our fault. So we imagined. And yet we were always being found innocent for ridiculous reasons.

Denis Johnson

By remaining exactly the same today as you were yesterday, you are guaranteeing that tomorrow will be no better than today.

Daniel Lapin

Pause and remember - Every single event in your life, especially the difficult lessons, have made you smarter, stronger, and wiser than you were yesterday. Be thankful!
