Edgar Bergen
I think God has some mechanism that he uses to punish those that make mistakes.
Obviously, as you grow up, no one’s ever 100 percent proud of every decision that they’ve made, and that’s OK. I think as long as you learn from your mistakes and don’t make them over and over again, you’re on the right path.
Look, you’re not going to get me to say that Democrats don’t make mistakes. We do. I mentioned two areas – pension reform and seniority and tenure. I’ve done both – I’ve advocated for both. I’ve advocated for – seek for reform as well.
You make your mistakes to learn how to get to the good stuff.
I try not to dwell on big mistakes but to move on when I make a mistake. I make mistakes most of the times and that’s part of the risk profile being an entrepreneur. I guess one big mistake I did was not to start my own company earlier. I spent nine years working for others before starting Kazaa in 2000.
I like to knuckle down and get on with my job. I’ll make mistakes, I’m bound to, but I’ll write them down and I’ll learn from them.
Paul Ince
I was taking myself very seriously when I was going through life changes. And I realized that I needed to laugh at myself, particularly at my mistakes.
Spencer Johnson
The only difference between an experienced knitter and new knitter is that the experienced knitter makes bigger mistakes faster. Be bold; there are no terrible consequences in knitting.
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
I see happiness as a by-product. I don’t think you can pursue happiness. I think that phrase is one of the very few mistakes the Founding Fathers made.
I’m not much of a matchmaker. I think people have to make their own choices and mistakes and all that stuff.
Whenever you are faced with someone who has made far more errors in judgment and far more mistakes than you, you have a tendency to get on your high horse.
Mistakes are acceptable if they’re the result of moving forward.
I have made so many mistakes as a mother. But the one thing that I know I do is I make sure my children know how much I love them and they are absolutely secure in that.
We’ve made some mistakes in this country in times past – the Korean conflict proceeding that, some say proceeding the Persian Gulf War, where we were ambiguous as to what we would do.
Just because you are on TV, it doesn’t mean you’re not going to make mistakes.
Tyler James Williams
I made a lot of mistakes.
I’m constantly anxious about making mistakes.
I think growth covers up mistakes.
I made a lot mistakes that I’m grateful for, because I won’t make them again and I won’t let my artists make them, or I’ll tell them, ‘Don’t do this.’ A lot of them still make them anyway, but you can’t be told things when you’re doing your own thing.
I got a way to get through to kids. I try to take that and use that to my advantage. If we work on the kids right now, I’m telling you, they’ll be making less mistakes, the jails will be gettin’ less full. It’s all about what we do with the kids.
Army: A body of men assembled to rectify the mistakes of the diplomats.
Josephus Daniels
People take the longest possible paths, digress to numerous dead ends, and make all kinds of mistakes. Then historians come along and write summaries of this messy, nonlinear process and make it appear like a simple, straight line.
Mistakes happen, and they happen to the best of us.
My favorite parts of work as an actor and a director are those unplanned mistakes that do happen, because it’s like catching lightning in a bottle. It’s the best part of what we do.
I didn’t want to repeat my mistakes so I stopped, took some time out and started having therapy. My songs were bringing up feelings inside of me I didn’t really understand, so I wanted to understand where they were coming from to help me be a better person and a better songwriter.
The harder you work, the less mistakes you make. The fewer mistakes you make, the better your chances of winning.
I try not to make the same mistakes today that I made yesterday.
Nowadays if you’re dependent on a grant – and 99% of them are – you can’t make mistakes as you won’t get another one if you do.
To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all.
Yeah, it’s odd when you look back at your own work. Some filmmakers don’t look back at their work at all. I look at my work a lot, actually. I feel like I learned something while looking at stuff I’ve done in terms of what I’m going to do in the future, mistakes I’ve made and things at work or what have you.
People love to hear the mistakes you've made.

People love to hear the mistakes you’ve made.
Bury your mistakes.
I’m always afraid of making mistakes. I think I was born with that.
Filmmaking is a completely imperfect art form that takes years and, over those years, the movie tells you what it is. Mistakes happen, accidents happen and true great films are the results of those mistakes and the decisions that those directors make during those moments.
I keep these songs in my head until I get behind the microphone. I never spend more than 30 or 40 minutes singing the vocal or it will sound mechanical. There are always mistakes, but it’s about feeling more than being perfect.
Remember you’re not entitled to anything. You have to earn your success every day, and you will make mistakes like everyone else.
Thank heaven, though, one of the few mistakes I haven’t made is to talk about the unwritten book.
Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it’s a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
It’s very important that we don’t make the same mistakes twice. That’s a big part of improvement.
Abraham wasn’t perfect. He failed, made mistakes. But, he would go back, get right with God, and then just keep moving forward. He didn’t quit when things got hard. He just kept on going. And everywhere he went, God was there. God was with him.
There will be times when I mess up. I’m human, but I want to be a role model for the good things I do and the bad things I do. And the times I do make mistakes, learn from those mistakes.
We all make mistakes but one has to move on.
Ray would be in trouble, he would get drunk, he would try and kill J.R on three different occasions, he would make mistakes with financial affairs, and have various human problems, but he didn’t have any mean bones in his body! That was a little bit of what the show was about.
Steve Kanaly
You just went right in and just recorded songs and listened them, and if there were any mistakes, then we would correct them and just went on… one take or two take.
Dennis Brown
Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else’s.
Billy Wilder
I don’t overthink when I’m styling. I kind of forgive myself and accept that I will make mistakes. Getting dressed should be a fun experience!
We’ve all heard that we have to learn from our mistakes, but I think it’s more important to learn from successes. If you learn only from your mistakes, you are inclined to learn only errors.
I realize I’m not a machine. I’m going to make mistakes.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
What’s positive is moving from a place of growing in faith to really feeling more grounded in faith, to understand that faith is hard, that I’ll stumble, that I’ll make mistakes, that I’ll sin. But, that’s part of being on a faith path; it’s part of being a human being.
When I was new, I didn’t know where my career will go. Initially, my films were not even successful, but then I learned a lot from my mistakes.
When you do things wrong, even a couple of mistakes, the press has the right to criticise. Much more so when you’re a goalkeeper – who remain in the spotlight forever.
I have made mistakes but I have never made the mistake of claiming that I have never made one.
James Gordon Bennett
I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.
You have to stay on top and learn from mistakes.
I want people to learn from me, see I’m human, and understand that I make mistakes just like they do, but it doesn’t have to consume you. You’ve got to walk through the raindrops, and that’s totally what I am trying to do.
Perhaps because my relationship with my father went through such a long, bumpy time, it’s been very important for me to work to try to keep lines of communication open between my sons and myself to try to avoid my father’s mistakes. At least if you’re making mistakes, make different mistakes.
Reasoning at every step he treads, Man yet mistakes his way, Whilst meaner things, whom instinct leads, Are rarely known to stray.
When you make mistakes, when you’re wrong, you should admit you’re wrong and ask people to forgive you.
You can be discouraged by failure, or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes, make all you can. Because, remember that’s where you’ll find success – on the far side of failure.
Thomas J. Watson
I always say the minute I stop making mistakes is the minute I stop learning and I’ve definitely learned a lot.
You can make a lot of mistakes and still recover if you

You can make a lot of mistakes and still recover if you run an efficient operation. Or you can be brilliant and still go out of business if you’re too inefficient.
What has truly impeded ESPN from overcoming its financial mistakes and inability to adapt to technological advances? The decadelong culture war ESPN lost to Deadspin, a snarky, politically progressive sports blog launched by Gawker’s Nick Denton in 2005.
There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they’re necessary to reach the places we’ve chosen to go.
How I Love Lucy was born? We decided that instead of divorce lawyers profiting from our mistakes, we’d profit from them.
I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. I wouldn’t say musically, though.
Future
I feel a deep sense of responsibility to share everything that we’ve learned from TOMS, so that others can learn from both our mistakes and the counterintuitive principles that have guided our success.
I am Maradona, who makes goals, who makes mistakes. I can take it all, I have shoulders big enough to fight with everybody.
I’ve made mistakes. Like, bringing people to your level who don’t deserve to be there. They’re trying to bite off your so-called fame, make a name off of you. I think I did a lot of that – allowed people to be relevant in my life who really aren’t relevant to me at all.
I believe people change. I think that they can learn from mistakes.
We’re allowed to have had a private life before politics in which we make mistakes and do things we should not.
David Dimbleby
When you fail you learn from the mistakes you made and it motivates you to work even harder.
Natalie Gulbis
You have to have a cultural ethic that allows for making mistakes. It cannot be that just because you make mistakes, you’re out. You have to make mistakes in order to innovate.
Boxing has been around for a while and there’s a lot of great examples of what to do and what not to do. You can look at those examples and learn from other people’s mistakes without having to go through it the hard way.
Life is not easy for anyone. You have to have ups and downs. You can make mistakes. You learn and try not to make them again. That’s pretty much my principle.
But I certainly made mistakes, for which I regret, I think most human beings in their lifetime make mistakes, mine ended up in two years prison – two very remarkable years from which I learnt a lot.
We all have to fight through our mistakes to become a better man.
Often, we have only focused on what we’ve done wrong as a nation. Of course we should face our sins and our mistakes. But if we get stuck there and don’t focus on where we’ve come from and how we’ve overcome those sins and mistakes, we are truly to be pitied.
I can’t understand it when people are closed-minded. I mean, boy, have I made mistakes and been very wrong. I can’t tell you the amounts of times I’ve been let down, but I still try to see the best in people.
You have to be OK with your own fears. If you’re an honest person, you’ll make mistakes, but that’s when the most interesting things happen.
All I know is that I’ve made some big screw-ups, and I’ve done some things that have done all right. I just keep trying to learn from the mistakes I’ve made.
The think that we hung the film version all on was ‘Hedwig’ on tour. On stage, it’s one theatre, one show. It just seemed natural to change it. In the film, we were able to go to flashback rather than have her talk to the audience. And we had the play to practice and to see where we had made mistakes.
You learn from mistakes.
Diane Abbott
People make mistakes – they say things they shouldn’t have or didn’t necessarily mean. But I strongly believe in consequences. If there are none, someone might feel like they’ve gotten away with something, or that what they said couldn’t have been that bad.
You get better by playing, honestly. That’s where you develop as a player is to play through mistakes in game action.
You grow up by making mistakes. I’ve made a ton of them, but as long as I keep on failing better, I don’t mind.

I’ve made some mistakes before.
Jenn Suhr
I have made lots of mistakes on and off the pitch, and

I have made lots of mistakes on and off the pitch, and you can only learn from them. If I can get that across, then hopefully I am doing something right.
I think people can tell when you’re pandering to them, and they feel insulted. I think that one thing that is really nice about the work that I do is that I can just sort of make mistakes or try out different ideas or be inconsistent and be vulnerable.
Well, what I tried to do is simply to get out on the land. And when I came to Washington, I think one of the mistakes we made early on was kind of having an ideological dispute up in the Congress.
As for all those mistakes I make – they are on purpose – to teach you how to deal with them.
Donald Norman
We’re looking as far ahead as we can, and we don’t get penalized for mistakes.
Larry Niven
When Congress legislates in haste, it often causes more problems than it solves. But Congress rarely reconsiders its mistakes.
Every human being makes mistakes.
Ian Smith
Any mistakes that I make is an investment in my future.
I’m not perfect. I’ve made mistakes. I’d do a lot of things different if I could. I’d never, ever, get involved with surrogacy again. It’s so weird.
Mary Beth Whitehead
I like a performance, a live performance, so I like little mistakes because that’s what makes perfect – the mistakes.
One of the advantages of moving quickly is if you do something wrong you can change it. What technologies tend to do is they tend to make a lot of mistakes… but then we go back and aggressively attack those mistakes – and fix them. And you usually recover pretty quickly.
Fact: From quitting smoking to skiing, we succeed to the degree we try, fail, and learn. Studies show that people who worry about mistakes shut down, but those who are relaxed about doing badly soon learn to do well. Success is built on failure.
Sometimes it’s difficult to accept, to recognise one’s own mistakes, but one must do it. I was guilty of overconfidence and arrogance, and I was punished for that.
I’m just smart enough to know what it is I don’t know and try to learn as I go along and accept that you’re going to make mistakes, and there are going to be things that are not going to be perfect.
I think one of the biggest mistakes that America has made – and maybe the world because this is, sort of, the core of communism and socialism – is that you can have perfect solutions to social problems like poverty, like crime. You’re not going to eliminate all crime. Maybe you’ll never eliminate all poverty.
I hope that the mistakes made and suffering imposed upon Japanese Americans nearly 60 years ago will not be repeated against Arab Americans whose loyalties are now being called into question.
Daniel Inouye
If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.

I guess none of us like to look back in our lives to a time when we made poor judgments and foolish mistakes.
I am not afraid of making mistakes. But my mistakes were those that I could afford. That’s very important: mistakes will happen but you must ensure that you keep them within limits you can afford.
