Mistakes Quotes

Confucius Quote

Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes. -- Confucius

Sydney Smith Quote

It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can. -- Sydney Smith

Thomas Huxley Quote

The chess board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just, and patient. But we also know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance. -- Thomas Huxley

Thomas Huxley Quote

There is no greater mistake than the hasty conclusion that opinions are worthless because they are badly argued. -- Thomas Huxley

W. H. Auden Quote

When I find myself in the company of scientists, I feel like a shabby curate who has strayed by mistake into a room full of dukes. -- W. H. Auden

Mark Twain Quote

After all these years I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning it is better to live outside the Garden with her than inside it without her. -- Mark Twain

Igor Stravinsky Quote

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. -- Igor Stravinsky

Office Space Quote

Peter When I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired. -- Office Space

Ann Landers Quote

Class has a sense of humor. It knows that a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations. Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes. Class bespeaks an aristocracy unrelated to ancestors or money. Some extremely wealthy people have no class at all, while others who are struggling to make ends meet are loaded with it. Class is real. You can't fake it. Class never tries to build itself up by tearing others down. Class is already up and need not attempt to look better by making others look worse. Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because he is comfortable with himself. If you have class, you've got it made. If you don't have class, no matter what else you have, it won't make up for it. -- Ann Landers

Woody Allen Quote

At the opera in Milan with my daughter and me, Needleman leaned out of his box and fell into the orchestra pit. Too proud to admit it was a mistake, he attended the opera every night for a month and repeated it each time. -- Woody Allen
