The Wheel of Fortune Forbids…

For reasons beyond my control, I am far from my computer (wherein resides today’s Monday’s Mistakes article) and see no prospects for returning to it in a timely fashion. Rather than the scheduled article, I can only offer you the following: a few words of wisdom and the vague promise of a double article next week.

An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.
–Niels Bohr

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
–Scott Adams

No one who cannot rejoice in the discovery of his own mistakes deserves to be called a scholar.
–Donald Foster

A doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.
–Frank Lloyd Wright

Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.
–Pearl S. Buck

We may make mistakes–but they must never be mistakes which result from faintness of heart or abandonment of moral principle.
–Franklin D. Roosevelt
