Every Foolish Mistake Must Say

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Roman - Statesman
106 BC - 43 BC

To create guilt, all that you need is a very simple thing: start calling mistakes, errors - sins. They are simply mistakes, human. Now, if somebody commits a mistake in mathematics - two plus two, and he concludes it makes five - you don`t say he has committed a sin. He is unalert, he is not paying attention to what he is doing. He is unprepared, he has not done his homework. He is certainly committing a mistake, but a mistake is not a sin. It can be corrected. A mistake does not make him feel guilty. At the most it makes him feel foolish.

Rajneesh

We must always look after our friends, even when they are foolish. Especially when they are foolish.

Richard Kadrey

This imputation of inconsistency is one to which every sound politician and every honest thinker must sooner or later subject himself. The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinion.

James Russell Lowell

I think the computer is a hindrance to good writing because it is so tempting to leave what you've written. If you use a typewriter, you must retype if you make a mistake, and thus, you must re-examine every word.

Edith Pearlman

With every mistake, we must surely be learning.

George Harrison

We don`t charge people for making a mistake or doing something foolish.

Chaka Fattah

Try to be original in your play and as clever as possible; but don't be afraid to show yourself foolish; we must have freedom of thinking, and only he is an emancipated thinker who is not afraid to write foolish things.

Anton Chekhov

How many times do we pay for one mistake? The answer is a thousand times for the same mistake. The human is the only animal on earth that pays a thousand times for ONE mistake. The rest of the animals pay once for every mistake.

Miguel Angel Ruiz

If fifty million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing.

Anatole France

Every day you must arise and say to your heart, I have suffered enough and now I must live because the light of the sun must not be wasted, it must not be lost without an eye to appreciate it.

Simone Schwarz-Bart

This is a hard and precarious world, where every mistake and infirmity must be paid for in full.

Clarence Day

A mistake made with good in your heart is still a mistake, but it is one for which you must forgive yourself.

Linda Sue Park

If a million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing.

Anatole France

The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjugated races to possess arms.

Adolf Hitler

It is not a mistake to commit a mistake, for no one commits a mistake knowing it to be one. But it is a mistake not to correct the mistake after knowing it to be one. If you are afraid of committing a mistake, you are afraid of doing anything at all. You will correct your mistakes whenever you find them.
