Many people make the mistake of confusing information with knowledge. They are not the same thing. Knowledge involves the interpretation of information. Knowledge involves listening.

I think it's a mistake to treat different realms of knowledge as if they are some how fundamentally the same.

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.

Mistakes are after all the foundations of truth and if a man does not know what a thing is it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not.

Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.

Pat Roberts and I both feel very strongly that when we get to Iran that we can't make the same mistakes. We have to ask the questions the hard questions before not afterwards and get the right intelligence.

Not all intelligence can be artificial now so if we make a mistake the consequences are no longer simply located within an institution or a national culture.

If you have the guts to keep making mistakes your wisdom and intelligence leap forward with huge momentum.

Intelligence is not to make no mistakes but quickly to see how to make them good.

A smart man makes a mistake learns from it and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether.

No matter how mistaken Communist ideas may be the experience and knowledge gained by trying them out have given a tremendous impetus to thought and imagination.

It is my fervent hope and prayer that by exposing my mistakes and by pointing out the things that were a part of my early life some who might be following the same paths might not make those same mistakes.

Jake Roberts has a hard enough time being Jake Roberts. The truth is a brutal thing I just hope that the kids take the time to learn about each of the wrestlers in the game and if the kids can learn from our mistakes that would make me a happy man.

I think it's a mistake to ever look for hope outside of one's self.

I hope that the mistakes made and suffering imposed upon Japanese Americans nearly 60 years ago will not be repeated against Arab Americans whose loyalties are now being called into question.

But if there's an erosion at home you know Thomas Jefferson warned about a tyranny of an oligarchy and if we surrender our democracy to the tyranny of an oligarchy we've made a terrible mistake.

But now being a parent I go home and see my son and I forget about any mistake I ever made or the reason I'm upset. I get home and my son is smiling or he comes running to me. It has just made me grow as an individual and grow as a man.

The physician can bury his mistakes but the architect can only advise his client to plant vines - so they should go as far as possible from home to build their first buildings.

There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history. It is simply a succession of mistakes intolerances and violations.

He was what I often think is a dangerous thing for a statesman to be - a student of history and like most of those who study history he learned from the mistakes of the past how to make new ones.

The worst mistake of first contact made throughout history by individuals on both sides of every new encounter has been the unfortunate habit of making assumptions. It often proved fatal.

The biggest mistakes early on involved foreign policy and involved the strategy for health care.

Third issue and again I think it is important to note anyone can make a mistake and any administration can make a mistake once in a while but this is just a long train of abuses an unbroken chain of following special interests rather than the health of the American people.

Make no mistake a 'yes' vote on the Democrats' health care bill is a vote for taxpayer-funded abortions.
