“A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.”
“Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error”
“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.”
“A great scientist once said that genius consists not in making great discoveries but in seeing the connection between small discoveries.”
“It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character.”
“The sages do not consider that making no mistakes is a blessing. They believe, rather, that the great virtue of man lies in his ability to correct his mistakes and continually make a new man of himself.”
