Famous quotes containing the word mistakes:

    “We shall make mistakes, but they must never be mistakes which result from faintness of heart or abandonment of moral principles. I remember that my old school master Dr. Peabody said in days that seemed to us then to be secure and untroubled, he said things in life will not always run smoothly, sometimes we will be rising toward the heights and all will seem to reverse itself and start downward. The great thing to remember is that the trend of civilization itself is forever upward.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “Parents don’t make mistakes because they don’t care, but because they care so deeply.”
    —T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)

    “By poeticizing love, we imagine in those we love virtues that they often do not possess; this then becomes the source of constant mistakes and constant distress.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
