I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.

The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.

Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic.

There are two things that come very easily to me: rooting for New York sports teams and making mistakes.

Exclusiveness in a garden is a mistake as great as it is in society.

I'm crazy about Grant: his character his nature his science in fighting and everything else. But I don't like the idea that he never accepted the blame for anything always found someone else to blame for any mistake that was ever made including blaming Prentiss for Shiloh.

This much we know: Journalism is not a precise science. It's on its best day is a crude art. We make mistakes I make mistakes. With more than 50 years as a journalist I have at least had the opportunity to blow more stories make more mistakes than maybe anybody in television.

What I like about sceptics is that in good science you need critics that make you think: 'Crumbs have I made a mistake here?' If you don't have that continuously you really are up the creek. The good sceptics have done a good service but some of the mad ones I think have not done anyone any favours.

Science my lad is made up of mistakes but they are mistakes which it is useful to make because they lead little by little to the truth.
