"I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false is guilty of falsehood, and the accidental truth of the assertion does not justify or excuse him."	Abraham Lincoln
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so."	Adolf Hitler
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."	Albert Einstein
"It is in fact nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for what this delicate little plant needs more than anything, besides stimulation, is freedom. It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty."	Albert Einstein
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."	Albert Einstein
"The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead."	Albert Einstein
"Get rid of imagined guilt. You did the best you could at the time, all things considered. If you made mistakes, learn to accept that we are all imperfect. Only hindsight is 20-20. If you are convinced that you have real guilt, consider professional or spiritual counseling (with a competent and trustworthy counselor). If you believe in God a pastor can help you believe also in God's forgiveness."	Amy Hillyard Jensen
"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
"God don't make no mistakes. That's how He got to be God."	Archie Bunker
"The essence of success is that it is never necessary to think of a new idea oneself. It is far better to wait until somebody else does it, and then to copy him in every detail, except his mistakes."	Aubrey Menen
"Never say, "oops." Always say, "Ah, interesting."	Author Unknown
"Our blunders mostly come from letting our wishes interpret our duties."	Author Unknown
"Just because you make mistakes doesn't mean you are one."	Author Unknown
"Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle; Old Age a regret."	Benjamin "Dizzy" Disraeli
"If you have made a mistake, cut your losses as quickly as possible."	Bernard Mannes Baruch
"If you have made a mistake, cut your losses as quickly as possible."	Bernard Mannes Baruch
"You're not the only one who's made mistakes, but they're the only things that you can truly call your own."	Billy Joel
"If you don't make mistakes, you aren't really trying."	Coleman Hawking
