No writer of a portion of the Bible was perfect. It was the direct and miraculous operation of the Holy Spirit that what they wrote is without mistake. – Walter Lang
I covered the Vietnam War. I remember the lies that were told, the lives that were lost – and the shock when, twenty years after the war ended, former Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara admitted he knew it was a mistake all along. – Walter Cronkite
When Obama heralds another ‘teachable moment,’ it means he has already made an egregious rookie mistake. – Tina Brown
The best way of dealing with the press, customers, and critics is to come clean when things go wrong and admit when you make a mistake. We are humans, and no one expects us to be perfect. – Vivek Wadhwa
In almost every photograph I have ever made, there is something I would do to complete it. I take that to be the spirit hole or the deliberate mistake that’s in a Navajo rug to not be godlike, but to be human. – Sam Abell
Imagine you’re copying a very long document, and occasionally you’ll put an A where there should be a C. And that mistake has been translated down through the generations, and more mistakes have accumulated. So the longer the lineage has been in existence, the more mistakes the sequence is going to have. – Spencer Wells
Sometimes I think I’m real predictable to myself and other times… you always wonder, Is this really what I wanted to do? Did I make a mistake? Should I be doing something else? – Tom Berenger
The mistake we make is to attribute to religions the errors and fanaticism of human beings. – Tahar Ben Jelloun
Your personal style should evolve with age. To say you want the same style at 25 as at 45 is a mistake. – Stacy London
I think riots happen when communities are under pressure for long periods of time. That’s not a mistake. – Ta-Nehisi Coates
And learn that when you do make a mistake, you’ll surface that mistake so you can get it corrected, rather than trying to hide it and bury it, and it becomes a much bigger mistake, and maybe a fatal mistake. – Sanford I. Weill
Generally speaking, companies get into bankruptcy as a kind of meritocracy. Somebody made some sort of big mistake, to get into bankruptcy, and very often, a part of the mistake is too much leverage. – Wilbur Ross
You can tell when someone is driven by labels. If something is couture, they think it’s important and wear it and sometimes make a terrible fashion mistake. People are shocked that I know so little about designers. – Zoe Kravitz
Make no mistake, tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter. – Tom Daschle
If you ever have a mistake, you try to just kind of forget about it because if you carry that with you for the rest of the routine, then the rest of your routine might not go as planned. So you just kind of shake it off, and you just continue your routine like you didn’t fall. – Simone Biles
If a magician makes a mistake, it’s sometimes forgiven by the audience. If a gambling cheat makes a mistake, they will almost certainly lose their lives – and probably in a horrible manner. – Steve Truglia
Boring heroines are, in my opinion, the most common romance mistake. We loathe hanging out with women who define themselves purely through their relationships… why would we want to read about them? – Sarah MacLean
Make no mistake about it: once a band has signed a letter of intent, they will either eventually sign a contract that suits the label or they will be destroyed. – Steve Albini
I think Hollywood makes the mistake of mixing all these identities and cultures, mostly from the Middle East. – Yasmine Al Masri
The idea is that Jesus overcame death through the Resurrection. What that does is fail to appreciate the fact that the resurrected Christ is the crucified Christ. It’s not like, ‘Oh, that was just a mistake, now it’s over.’ Jesus continues to suffer from our sins. – Stanley Hauerwas
The Republicans are running wild with our tax dollars and it’s been a mistake to let this administration continue a policy of incompetence when it comes to Iraq. – Sherrod Brown
I think Democrats made a mistake running away from liberalism. Liberalism, uh, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John and Robert Kennedy – that’s what the Democratic party ought to reach for. – Theodore C. Sorensen
If a person is not willing to make a mistake, you’re never going to do anything right. – Sanford I. Weill
