It's always helpful to learn from your mistakes because then your mistakes seem worthwhile.

Garry Marshall

When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.

Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love the greater the jealousy.

[Artifacts, whether publications or oil field equipment, are] the physical manifestation of dreams, ideas, and great deeds, ... some point to successes, some point to great mistakes.

Bruce Wells

We've made big mistakes. There are some instances in which we blew it. We've got to give more direction, and we've got to do it right.

David Walsh

You can't build on a loss, but you can build on the effort. I just need to let them know the mistakes they made cost them the game.

We seemed to move the ball OK. And we'd have our opportunities at first down and things like that, but they really played well. ... We've just got to learn from our mistakes. You can't make mistakes against Miami.

Joel Klatt

Our base running was horrible and the mental mistakes is what is costing our team victories.

Bud Maret

We had a couple of mental lapses in the second half. We made a couple of decisions on bad passes. We made a couple of mistakes in the fourth quarter.

Peter Arnold

Training is perishable if you don't keep it up. If you don't practice, don't learn from mistakes.

It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character.

Dale E. Turner

We scraped back and that was good to see. We are so young and we'll learn from this and from our mistakes.

Roger Jackson

Some weaknesses we have are constancy from the first to 25th point and letting the mistakes go.

Jay Mitlo

We've got to play for 60 minutes. It was a good game until we let it slip away. When we go back and watch the film we'll see the mistakes. Some of the kids saw them as they were happening and even knew what they needed to do differently.

David Reeves

They didn't hear from the public. I find that to be another one of the leadership problems we have in Deltona. They keep making these mistakes.

It seemed like it snowballed. We made a mistake, then it snowballed into two more mistakes.

Mike Cummings

Those who cannot admit making stupid mistakes are destined to repeat them over and over.

Obviously that's a game I'm going to watch because I did make some defensive mistakes on him.

Jason Rich

There were some mistakes, but for the most part I think I did all right out there.

Jake Grove

Errors cost us the game today. It wasn't just the fielding, but the mental mistakes we made that took this game from us.

Ann Molski

'Valley of Angels' is about the idea that things aren't perfect. Everyone fumbles and falls and makes mistakes. When you're down, you might not feel there's any place of serenity you can find. It's about finding peace.

Bo Bice

If you make mistakes you have to expect to get your ankles tapped.

Peter Reynolds

I felt like we did not play the way we are capable of today. We made a lot of mistakes, especially with our marks. We made countless errors defending and that really put us behind the eight ball.

Jon Evans

We're young. Mistakes come early in practice but it seems like the young guys are getting better and better at understanding things.

Alando Tucker

I think they really stepped up and played well. They were competitive and played hard. At times they made some freshman mistakes, but that's OK.

Reed Goldsmith

We're doing a good job of taking advantage of mistakes. When the door opens, you have to jump on it and make the opportunity pay off.

Mike Godfrey

You have to pitch to him like he was a couple of years ago. He hits good pitches, he hits bad pitches. He has great hand-eye coordination. He hits mistakes.

John H. Patterson

We have to keep trying things we're not sure we can pull off. If we just do the things we know we can do... you don't grow as much. You gotta take those chances on making those big mistakes.

Cybill Shepherd

We have to have a short memory and be able to come back ready to play (today). We have to learn from our mistakes, and hopefully we'll get it fixed.

Bruce Steinbecker

When we start to make mistakes, we get timid. But when we can play our game and be aggressive, we can win.

Lisa Hall

It's only those who do nothing that make no mistakes, I suppose.

Joseph Conrad

We didn't really make too many mistakes on the defensive end. We boxed out pretty well.

John Maahs

I have learned lots of things and I know how not to make mistakes as a manager, ... I am positive they are not going to make the same mistakes I made.

Kostya Tszyu

The boys had to work hard considering the conditions and the fact we've only just got back from South Africa. In these conditions you've got to keep the ball in hand and try to eliminate mistakes.

Rodney So'oialo

I have worked very hard on my service game, and have also made a conscious effort to reduce the number of mistakes on the court. Also, I have much more experience now.

Maria Kirilenko

There are some mistakes that we're making constantly that we need to improve on. On our feet we're hanging our heads a little bit too much.

Dennis Lyberger

If we have a chance of succeeding and bringing stability and democracy to Iraq, it will mean learning from our mistakes, not denying them and not ignoring them.

Carl Levin

We have to limit those bad innings from six runs down to, say, two. It?s not every day that we?re going to put 13 runs on the board, and those bad innings will come back and hurt us if we don?t identify those mistakes better.

Charlie Hickey

He is pretty good on his feet and at taking advantage of the opponents' mistakes.

Andy Kerley

It was a really fast-paced game. They really got good ball pressure, forced us to put it on the floor and make plays. We just didn't make plays. You're fortunate to when you make that many mistakes.

Forrest Larson

They're going to make a lot of mistakes because they're young, but they're so athletic.

Terri Risch

When you're talking deaths in clinical trials, mistakes are not an option. It's just an area where we have to have absolute, foolproof reporting in place.

Arthur Caplan

I thought I probably should have won. I made some stupid mistakes.

Reed Johnson

As long as we take care of us, we figure we'll be fine. I just want to see us play with intensity. We're going to make mistakes; I know that. But as long as they're effort mistakes, I'm OK with it.

Kelly Green

They're playing very, very well. They're playing fast. They're playing very physical. They're not making many mistakes. They're taken a lot of pride in being very consistent.

Montae Reagor

That's unfortunate, especially if you've made a lot of mistakes your kids could learn from.

Matthew Tuttle

We wrestled really tough. We just gave up some late pins. We fought hard and wrestled well. We made some mistakes and they capitalized on it. I'm happy with the effort but not with the outcome.

Dennie Mcdaniel

It's OK — we're just learning from our mistakes. We just made a couple of little mistakes and they scored on us. Other than that, we were with them toe to toe and just couldn't put it away.

Noe Cerezo

We didn't get the bounces we needed tonight. In a game like this, mistakes will kill you. But we hung in there. Our guys came here to play and we never gave up.

Neil Rodman

We're mirror images of each other. It's gonna come down to who makes the least mistakes.

Dennis Allen

We made some mistakes during critical times of the game. But, overall, I felt like we played well. We're improving everyday; we just have to continue to get better.

Daniel Johnson

Army: A body of men assembled to rectify the mistakes of the diplomats.

Josephus Daniels

We had opportunities, ... We just made a couple mental mistakes down the stretch? That?s what bothers us the most.

Bruce Bowen

Very obviously, they've pitched well - not making mistakes, living on the corners.

Garret Anderson

They were hitting on all cylinders. Turnovers really hurt us, especially in the first half, and they were able to turn a lot of those mistakes into points.

Conchita Johnson

We don't want to make mistakes. However long it takes, we want to get it right.

Terry Farley

The astrologer who spells the stars, mistakes his globes, and in her bright eye interprets heaven's physiognomies.

John Cleveland

We all make mistakes. We're human. Hopefully, everyone -- like I am -- will have that attitude. I'm not upset.

Mindy Mccready

Writers seldom choose as friends those self-contained characters who are never in trouble, never unhappy or ill, never make mistakes and always count their change when it is handed to them.

Catherine Drinker Bowen

It was a game we should have won. They scored off our mistakes ... it was a great game for the crowd but not for me.

Carl Withey

We can't go in and make first-game mistakes that you'd get away with against a team of a lesser caliber.

Kyle Wright

I saw what parts of my game need to improve by playing with Tom [Watson] and Michael [Campbell]. I made too many mistakes.

Brian Mcelhinney

We gave up a couple of long runs last week and it has been our Achilles' heel. Sometimes when we're too aggressive those long runs happen. I like the aggressive mistakes, but we have to cut down on those mistakes.

Marty Sanders

We're hitting the lows right now but we'll definitely bounce back. We've got too many guys with character in our side. We didn't play well tonight, we made a lot of mistakes and that cost us.

Frans Ludeke

Offensively, we left way too many men on base. And defensively, we made two mistakes today and they both cost us a run. Actually, that one in the seventh cost us more than one run. But we just have to get more guys hitting the ball after Adams. The guys behind him have got to do their job.

Doug Sankey

The only thing I regret about my past is the length of it. If I had to live my life again I'd make all the same mistakes - only sooner.

Tallulah Bankhead

That's why coaches tell players to never give up. Little mental mistakes like that is how you score.

Chris Leshinski

We are disappointed that we lost but I am proud of the effort the kids gave. I think we are cutting back on our mistakes and progressing each game.

Ricky Stokes

Playoff games are always different than the regular season. You're going to miss more shots and make more mistakes. It's just the way it is.

Butch Wade

They came to play. So did we but . . . they're strong, intense and have good sportsmanship, too. We made mistakes early, and they capitalized on them.

Kevin Collier

I have learned more from my mistakes than from my successes.

Humphrey Davy

The mental mistakes I can't live with. You can't win when you do that. I don't think this team has a leader.

Skeeter Barnes

The team will soon improve a great deal. We made mistakes and we were wrong on some things, but we are committed to this long-term project.

Antonio Cue

When I first got here, he was talking about games from two years ago and mistakes he had made. He's been hammered so hard. It's something that we had to repair and fix, for him to live in the now and forget about the past.

Brandon Doman

We're a much better team than we played like today. We made a lot of little mistakes. We're a young team.

Tim Newby

He is a man who does not like to look back and admit mistakes.

Terry Moran

Too many mistakes against a team like that. There's no margin for error.

Dave Chanley

We just make way too many mistakes to win. It's one of those things. We're dealing with things on how to fight adversity and getting ready to step up and be mature, but when you've got young guys ...

Mark Hummel

We made some bad defensive mistakes. We got caught flat-footed early on. At times, though, we were dominant.

Matt Kane

As long as we're playing defense behind her, we're going to do OK. Erica was good with her rhythm, but we didn't make any mistakes behind her. If we continue to do this, we're going to surprise some people.

Lori Alexander

In the second half we improved from the mistakes we made in the first half.

Jill Bigelow

This was my best hitting night. We had nerves. We make little mistakes that we shouldn't.

Samantha Allen

We made several costly mistakes today that we just couldn't get out from under.

Frank Decker

Our hitters did a nice job of limiting their mistakes. That was a big factor in our being able to come back tonight.

Greg Murley

We made a lot of mistakes and have to learn from those mistakes. They converted four fourth-down conversions. We have to play better in those crucial situations if we are going to keep playing for the next 10 games and hopefully further.

Mike Drass

It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes; it takes more grit and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own.

Jessamyn West

You're both human and prone to error. Instead of focusing on what you do wrong, focus on what's right and let go of the little mistakes.

Nina Atwood

Salt Lake scares me. They're not going to make mistakes that will keep them out of one-run games. I have a lot of respect for them.

Randy Wilstead

I'm struggling a little with my game, but I'm getting better. I'm struggling with scoring and my comfort level out there. I'm not consistent enough and I'm making too many little mistakes like not getting up and down when I should.

Ian Leggatt

That was all that was needed, as we just keep applying pressure and forcing mistakes.

Seth Riley

We really did not say much to the kids at the half. The onus is on them to fix their mistakes; we just kind of point them out. They played well after halftime.

Chris Labatte

We went out there and said it was going to be a playoff type of game. We made some mistakes, but the kids hung in there. We got some people on and made things happen.

Pat Mcquaid

I'm aggressive on bases and I will continue to be aggressive. When you're running the bases aggressively, sometimes you're going to make mistakes. Sometimes you're going to make great plays. Unfortunately in the last week, I've been [making] mistakes.

Ivan Rodriguez

We just came out flat. Normal had more energy, we made a couple mistakes and the next thing you know we're a couple goals down.

Doug Higgins

I was praying it wouldn't go in. We missed free throws down the wire that we should have had and defensively we made some mistakes and they exploited them. I'm just glad to be where we're at. The girls have worked hard.

Laura Romo

You try not to play different, but there's something subconsciously as a team when you know somebody is back there like we had in Buffalo with Hasek. You're going to make mistakes and a goalie like Nik can cover them up.

Curtis Brown

If you're not making mistakes, you're not taking risks, and that means you're not going anywhere. The key is to make mistakes faster than the competition, so you have more changes to learn and win.

John W. Holt, Jr.

As a whole, we had too many little mistakes -- our expectations are much higher than that. In the secondary, we gave up a couple of deep ones and you didn't see too much of that last year, so we have to get back to the drawing board.

Chris Hope

Our pitchers had a bad day today, especially in the second game. We made some mistakes and they hit them hard.

Leslie Messina

Do not take yourself too seriously. You have to learn not to be dismayed at making mistakes. No human being can avoid failures.

Lawrence G. Lovasik

First-time filmmakers have so many mistakes, digital video will allow you to go try something and if it doesn't work, you can do it again.

Tom Rhodes

It took him a whole inning to get going. As a pitcher, you have to go out there and go right after guys and limit your mistakes.

Tracy Archuleta

No matter who we play next, we have to be on our game. We have to skate well and eliminate critical mistakes. If we do those things, we have a chance to go a lot further.

Matt Mincone

When you are able to execute you can win football games. Our kids executed and didn't make a lot of mistakes and we were able to get the win.

Lexie Spurlock

Learn from the mistakes of others-you can never live long enough to make them all yourself.

John Luther

You know with the (triple option) offense we run, there's going to be some mistakes anyway. But you can't try and replace a guy like P.J.

Patrick Davis

There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game.

Ted Williams

If we don't make the mistakes we made on defense and the walks, it's a lot closer ball game. They had two hits and six runs. That doesn't say a lot for the way we played the game.

Marty Miller

We make those mistakes at crucial situations, and one or two plays could completely change the game.

Tim Thornton

When you're 1-2 on a guy in [Class] A ball, you can make a mistake and usually still get an out. But in Double-A, hitters grind out at-bats and make you pay for mistakes. Thomas will be fine. He'll have one good outing and things will click.

Terry Clark

Huntington did a nice job of getting out quickly. They cover their mistakes well with good shooting. They built too big a lead to really come back.

Rick Greene

The guy he played was very consistent. Miguel either hit a winner or made a mistake -- and he made more mistakes than winners. Miguel was forcing the issue, he just had too many mistakes.

Tom Lonergan

I am really pleased about our quarterback. He did not make mistakes and played great football.

Tom Lamb

We're not the kind of team that gets 20 hits a game, but we take advantage of other team's mistakes.

Jamie Cook

They were a well-prepared football team and they capitalized on the mistakes. Sometimes mistakes happen and teams do not capitalize on them. They did a great job of doing that. They're a good football team. We have to go back to the drawing board and fix the problem.

Claude Brown

I made two mistakes. Two bad pitches.

Runelvys Hernandez

We made some mistakes. There's only so many timeouts you can take to try to calm (the players) down, to get them to focus.

Pam Munger

That's an excellent team over there. They took advantage of all our mistakes.

Pete Summerbell

I didn't play my best. I made many mistakes against him. I had a couple of chances in the second set where I had the feeling I could turn the match the other way and I made two mistakes.

Dominik Hrbaty

To Lansing's credit, when you have all seniors, those mistakes don't always take place.

Mark Elston

From year to year they may get a little stronger and a little faster, but the biggest thing is what happens between their temples. Just to have this many freshmen on the field at the same time, there are going to be mental mistakes.

Kirk Hoza

There is nothing left for us to do except move forward and not to make the same mistakes we made so next season will be a much better one for us.

Antonio Cue

He made a mistake. All of us make mistakes. But it was not his intention to harm the housing authority.

Larry Hardaway

As far and Matt and I are concerned ... all I can do is compete against myself. If I eliminate mistakes on my end and just concentrate on doing the best that I can do, I think I have a good shot to lead the team like I did last year.

Donald Allen

We're extremely glad to get the win, ... but we're still making too many mistakes.

Jim Sweeney

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

Billy Wilder

Our defense played great, just like we expected. Offensively we did just what I expected as well. We made a ton of mistakes, but we did what we had to.

John Carroll

We're up for it. You know, this kind of game is a test for us. It's going to be a good bar for where we're at, and when it's all said and done, we have the horses and we can run all over them if we just don't make mistakes.

Sam Keller

We don't make any excuses. We need to go play and get better and learn from our mistakes.

Chris Revard

We played pretty well, but we made mistakes at the end, and you can't do that and beat a top-10 team.

Joshua Tinch

We definitely played hard like we always do against Dowling, but we had some mental mistakes and turnovers, dumb shots that kept us from winning.

Tom Salter

All the freshmen did real well this weekend. The mistakes just come from being young.

Mike Pallotto

I said it would come down to mistakes, and I guess I had it scouted out pretty good. Maybe they made one more than we did.

Scott Young

This was a very important victory because we were without our coach, and it's very emotional. Guys came out and executed and played well. We had some mistakes we need to correct, but hopefully, we can keep going on and keep getting better.

Lawrence Samuels
