“... there are no mistakes. There are only our wishes our actions and the consequences that follow both. There are only events how we cope with them and what we learn from the coping.”

“Of all my children, you were always the hardest on yourself. You were always looking for the right way to behave, so concerned you might make a mistake. But, darling, there are no mistakes. There are only our wishes, our actions, and the consequences that follow both. There are only events, how we cope with them, and what we learn from the coping.""That's too easy," he said."On the contrary. It's monumentally difficult.”

“The only mistake we can make is not learning from our mistake.”

“We all make mistakes. Sometimes I think the only point of our miserable lives is simply to learn how to live with the consequences of the bad decisions we´ve made.”

“The only real failure is the failure to try, and the measure of success is how we cope with disappointment.”

“We can't be as good as we'd want to, so the question then becomes, how do we cope with our own badness?”
