Love truth, but pardon error.

There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, there are no limits.

The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.

Constant effort and frequent mistakes are the stepping stones to genius.

Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.

Be bold. If you're going to make an error, make a doozy, and don't be afraid to hit the ball.

You will make all kinds of mistakes; but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her.

All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows he knows his course is wrong and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.

I am a true laborer: I earn that I eat, get that I wear, owe no man hate, envy no man’s happiness, glad of other men’s good, content with my harm.

Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life.

And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth.

Lie to a liar, for lies are his coin; steal from a thief, for that is easy; lay a trap for a trickster and catch him at first attempt, but beware of an honest man.

Everything you say should be true but not everything true should be said.

The quick pain of truth can pass away, but the slow eating agony of a lie is never lost.
