“Man is a mistake. He must go.”
“If he trips he must be sustained. If he makes mistakes they must be covered. If he sleeps he must not be wantonly disturbed. If he is no good he must be pole-axed”
“When I know the truth, I must go to Robert. And pray that he is the man I think he is, he finished silently, and not the man I fear he has become.”
“The test of a mans character is not the mistakes he makes but the way he responds to them. ”
“A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war: wide-awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. Going to knowledge or going to war in any other manner is a mistake, and whoever makes it might never live to regret it”
“A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.”
