I think making mistakes and discovering them for yourself is of great value but to have someone else to point out your mistakes is a shortcut of the process.

From a worldly point of view there is no mistake so great as that of being always right.

In general pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.

I've made some great mistakes in my life but you know they were honest mistakes.

It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble how hopeless the outlook how muddled the tangle how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.

It is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness and I pronounce it as certain that there was never a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.

A mistake made by many people with great convictions is that they will let nothing stand in the way of their views not even kindness.

President Obama's call for nearly a half-trillion dollars in more government stimulus when America has more than $14 trillion in debt is guided by his mistaken belief that we can spend our way to prosperity.

President Obama's reckless defense cuts that are hanging over our cloud hanging over the horizon could put almost 44 000 jobs at stake right here in Pennsylvania. we are not going to let that happen. You know why? Because No. 1 national defense is the first priority of the federal government.

The mistakes made by Congress wouldn't be so bad if the next Congress didn't keep trying to correct them.
