Mixing one's wines may be a mistake but old and new wisdom mix admirably.

Back of every mistaken venture and defeat is the laughter of wisdom if you listen.

A mistake is simply another way of doing things.

A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes smart enough to profit from them and strong enough to correct them.

I have always been willing to admit when I made a mistake. I made a mistake in my understanding of the composition of the Contras not on my opposition to the Contra war.

The war on terror if this is a war on terror can only be won by a sincere regional and international cooperation. All have to believe they have something at stake and work together. In the absence of this it will become political and interest-oriented.

I consider Bush's decision to call for a war against terrorism a serious mistake. He is elevating these criminals to the status of war enemies and one cannot lead a war against a network if the term war is to retain any definite meaning.

Make no mistake adolescence is a war. No one gets out unscathed.

Seldom very seldom does complete truth belong to any human disclosure seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised or a little mistaken.
