Quotes about mistakes and the learning process

A mistake means making an error and it’s inevitable to make some mistakes. I guess the most important is to avoid the fatal ones. But for the other mistakes that don’t contain some kind of fatality, the crucial point is not to give up. If we learn from it and continue to try, we may turn the tide and finally succeed. In the end, if a mistake stops us, we will never know what we are capable of.

Elbert Hubbart
