GEMS OF THOUGHT
MISTAKES. No persons are more frequently wrong than those who will not admit that they are wrong.—Rochefoucauld. No man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes. —Gladstone. Even a mild mistake must be seen as a mistake, in order to be corrected; how much more, then, should one’s sins be seen and repented of, before they can be reduced to their native nothingness!—Mary Baker Eddy. When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed—the future is yet in your power—Hugh White.
The providence that watches over the affairs of men, works out their mistakes. at limes, to a healthier issue than could have been accomplished by their wisest forethought.—Fronde. Any man may make a mistake, but none but a fool will continue in it. — Cicero.
