People who don't take risks generally make about two big mistakes a year. People who do take risks generally make about two big mistakes a year.

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.

Mistakes are after all the foundations of truth and if a man does not know what a thing is it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not.

Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.

Pat Roberts and I both feel very strongly that when we get to Iran that we can't make the same mistakes. We have to ask the questions the hard questions before not afterwards and get the right intelligence.

If you have the guts to keep making mistakes your wisdom and intelligence leap forward with huge momentum.

Intelligence is not to make no mistakes but quickly to see how to make them good.

Where the stakes are the highest in the war on terror we cannot possibly succeed without extraordinary international cooperation. Effective international police actions require the highest degree of intelligence sharing planning and collaborative enforcement.

It is my fervent hope and prayer that by exposing my mistakes and by pointing out the things that were a part of my early life some who might be following the same paths might not make those same mistakes.

Jake Roberts has a hard enough time being Jake Roberts. The truth is a brutal thing I just hope that the kids take the time to learn about each of the wrestlers in the game and if the kids can learn from our mistakes that would make me a happy man.
