“Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error”
“To make a mistake is only human; to persist in a mistake is idiotic.”
“A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Through error you come to the truth! I am a man because I err! You never reach any truth without making fourteen mistakes and very likely a hundred and fourteen.”
