we’re allowed to make a lot of mistakes in our lives, except the mistake that destroy us
Love was above everything else, and there was no hatred in love, only the occasional mistake.
Treat every challenge as a lesson, every mistake you make as a blessing and move on.
You have to own your mistakes, otherwise your mistakes own you
Stay close to those who sing, tell stories, and enjoy life, and whose eyes sparkle with happiness. Because happiness is contagious and will always manage to find a solution, whereas logic can find only an explanation for the mistake made.
Mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity.
You will fail many times but in failing you'll learn and in learning you'll find your way. Remember, there are no mistakes in life but only lessons, and lessons will keep on repeating until learned
Hell is when we look back during that fraction of a second and know that we wasted an opportunity to dignify the miracle of life. Paradise is being able to say at that moment: “I made some mistakes, but I wasn’t a coward. I lived my life and did what I had to do.
Forgive your enemy, but do not mistake him for a friend.
Warriors of light frequently ask themselves what they are doing here. Very often they believe their lives have no meaning. That is why they are warriors of light. Because they make mistakes. Because they ask questions. Because they continue to look for a meaning. And, in the end, they will find it.
Love is the only thing that will save us, independent of any mistakes we may make. Love is always stronger.
Perfect people don't drink, don't fight, don't lie, don't make mistakes and...don't exist
All life's battles teach us something, even those we lose. When you grow up, you'll discover that you have defended lies, deceived yourself, or suffered foolishness. If you're a good warrior you will not blame yourself for this, but neither will you allow your mistakes to repeat themselves.
The mirror reflects perfectly; it makes no mistakes because it doesn't think. To think is to make mistakes.
