One of the mistakes I made was placing too much trust in Montesinos.

Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own instead of someone else's.

The most useful form of time travel would be to go back a year or two and rectify the mistakes we made.

It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.

Many people mistakenly think a new technology cancels out an old one.

We can't blame the technology when we make mistakes.

Both my grandmothers had upright pianos and I just knew how to play since I was a child. Nobody taught me. I sounded like a grown-up and then I learned how to read music. I played so well by ear I could fool the teacher to believe I could play the notes. She'd make the mistake of playing the song once and I could play it.

I don't think it's an incredibly radical premise to try and have sympathy for someone who has made a mistake.

Whenever you analyse anyone who has had any success and they're in the headlines you will find they are human and make mistakes. I'm certainly that and I've made a lot of mistakes.

I thought doing reality TV would be the greatest success of my life or the biggest mistake.

With success came an ever-growing burden of responsibility. I lived with a near-constant low-level anxiety that I would make a mistake that would not only threaten my career but also my brothers' - not to mention the livelihoods of many people who work with us or for us.

Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes but they don't quit.

I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.

The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.

Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic.

There are two things that come very easily to me: rooting for New York sports teams and making mistakes.

Exclusiveness in a garden is a mistake as great as it is in society.

I'm crazy about Grant: his character his nature his science in fighting and everything else. But I don't like the idea that he never accepted the blame for anything always found someone else to blame for any mistake that was ever made including blaming Prentiss for Shiloh.

This much we know: Journalism is not a precise science. It's on its best day is a crude art. We make mistakes I make mistakes. With more than 50 years as a journalist I have at least had the opportunity to blow more stories make more mistakes than maybe anybody in television.

What I like about sceptics is that in good science you need critics that make you think: 'Crumbs have I made a mistake here?' If you don't have that continuously you really are up the creek. The good sceptics have done a good service but some of the mad ones I think have not done anyone any favours.

Science my lad is made up of mistakes but they are mistakes which it is useful to make because they lead little by little to the truth.

Science is properly more scrupulous than dogma. Dogma gives a charter to mistake but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake and must keep the conscience alive.

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.
