If you live long enough you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit never quit never quit.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

On behalf of NARAL Pro-Choice America - and our one million member activists - I am honored to be here to talk to you about what's at stake for women in 2012. I am proud to say that the Democratic Party believes that women have the right to choose a safe legal abortion with dignity and privacy.

I think mistakes are the essence of science and law. It's impossible to conceive of either scientific progress or legal progress without understanding the important role of being wrong and of mistakes.

If we have a chance of succeeding and bringing stability and democracy to Iraq it will mean learning from our mistakes not denying them and not ignoring them.

We must expect to fail... but fail in a learning posture determined no to repeat the mistakes and to maximize the benefits from what is learned in the process.
