Marriage is a really scary thing. I'm excited about it. I know it's not a mistake, it's the absolute right thing to do. I'm really happy about it. I really, really love my fiancee. We're good friends and I think it's going to work. But that's just the point - it's going to take work. It does make me feel vulnerable to be like, wow, I'm committed to this person for the rest of my life.
It seemed cruelly unfair to me, even then, how fast your life can change before you have an opportunity to rethink your choices. We should get second chances on the big stuff. We should come equipped with erasers attached to the tops of our heads. Like pencils. We should be able to flip over and scribble away mistakes, at least once or twice during the duration of our existence, especially in matters of life and death.
I need to make mistakes, just to learn (who i am)
Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal.
Unless you're prepared to make a mistake, you'll never do anything that hasn't been done before. You have to be prepared to be embarrassed.
You just keep pushing. You just keep pushing. I made every mistake that could be made. But I just kept pushing.
My guitar is my torch, my soul carries the flame. Make no mistake, I'm a true blues man.
It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes; it takes more grit and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own.
The biggest mistake people make is to try to lose too much weight too fast.
I accept that it was a mistake to allow distinctions to be blurred between my professional responsibilities and my personal loyalties to a friend. Mr Speaker, I am sorry for this. I have apologised to the Prime Minister, to the public, and, at the first opportunity available, to the House.
A federal bailout would spare California from having to make spending cuts needed to bring its budget into balance. The matter has become urgent since California voters rejected several tax-hiking ballot initiatives. Rather than taking the vote as a signal to dramatically curtail spending, the state turned to the feds. If they get a free pass, the politicians can avoid fixing any of their past mistakes or preparing California for the future.
Mistakes are the necessary steps in the learning process; once they have served their purpose, they should be forgotten and not repeated.
. . . it is a great mistake to confuse conventionality with simplicity. . . it takes a good deal of intelligence and a great many inhibitions to follow a social code.
The Bush tax cuts should be extended permanently for families with annual incomes of less than $250,000 and should be phased out slowly for those making more than that. Raising taxes on anyone now, when the economic recovery is so fragile, would be a mistake.
It is the folly of too many to mistake the echo of a London coffee-house for the voice of the kingdom.
One easy mistake to make with the first novel is to expand the short story. Some things are better as a story; you cannot dilute things into a novel. I think the first hundred pages of a novel are very important. That's where you set things up: the world, the characters. Once you've set that up, it'll be much easier.
