No one is exempt from talking nonsense; the mistake is to do it solemnly.
Michel Eyquem de Montaigne
It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.
Henry Moore
Our major obligation is not to mistake slogans for solutions.
Edward R. Murrow
One of the disadvantages of wine is that it makes a man mistake words for thoughts.
Dr Samuel Johnson
Intuition is truly a feminine quality, but women should not mistake rash conclusions for this gift.
Minna Antrim
It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
When you think about it, a home run is a mistake. The idea is to hit the ball hard, on a line, so the defense can't react to it. Hit it high in the air, which is how most home runs are hit, and most of the time it will be caught. It's a mistake
Matt Williams
Make no mistake. Canada is not a bilingual country. In fact it is less bilingual today than it has ever been.
Stephen Harper
The test is to recognize the mistake, admit it and correct it. To have tried to do something and failed is vastly better than to have tried to do nothing and succeeded.
Dale E. Turner
If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems. And that's a big mistake.
Frank Wilczek
The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.
Elbert Hubbard
Drama is based on the Mistake. I think someone is my friend when he really is my enemy, that I am free to marry a woman when in fact she is my mother, that this person is a chambermaid when it is a young nobleman in disguise, that this well-dressed young man is rich when he is really a penniless adventurer, or that if I do this such and such a result will follow when in fact it results in something very different. All good drama has two movements, first the making of the mistake, then the discovery that it was a mistake.
W. H. Auden
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance. Never settle for the path of least resistance. Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin'. Lovin might be a mistake but it's worth makin
