Mistakes
Quotes - Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake
“I'm
selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control
and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you
sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”

Marilyn Monroe

you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage

Paulo Coelho, Brida
“If

us.”

Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
“It
was one thing to make a mistake; it was another thing to keep making it. I knew
what happened when you let yourself get close to someone, when you started to
believe they loved you: you'd be disappointed. Depend on someone, and you might
as well admit you're going to be crushed, because when you really needed them,
they wouldn't be there. Either that, or you'd confide in them and you added to
their problems. All you ever really had was yourself, and that sort of sucked
if you were less than reliable.”

“It
is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that

Mahatma Gandhi
“These
are the few ways we can practice humility:
To
speak as little as possible of one's self.
To
mind one's own business.
Not
to want to manage other people's affairs.
To
avoid curiosity.
To
accept contradictions and correction cheerfully.
To
pass over the mistakes of others.
To
accept insults and injuries.
To
accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked.
To
be kind and gentle even under provocation.
Never
to stand on one's dignity.
To
choose always the hardest.”

“Will’s
voice dropped. “Everyone makes mistakes, Jem.”
“Yes,”
said Jem. “You just make more of them than most people.”
“I
—”
“You
hurt everyone,” said Jem. “Everyone whose life you touch.”
“Not
you,” Will whispered. “I hurt everyone but you. I never meant to
hurt
you.”
Jem
put his hands up, pressing his palms against his eyes. “Will —”
“You
can’t never forgive me,” Will said in disbelief, hearing the
panic
tinging his own voice. “I’d be —”
“Alone?”
Jem lowered his hand, but he was smiling now, crookedly. “And
whose
fault is that?”

mistakes... Just have greater consequences than others. But you don't have to

the choice not to let that happen.”
