“It is better to make mistakes than to lie idle.”

“An idle man has a constant tendency to torpidity. He has adopted the Indian maxim — that it is better to walk than to run, and better to stand than to walk, and better to sit than to stand, and better to lie than to sit. He hugs himself into the notion, that God calls him to be quiet.”

“Making mistakes is a lot better than not doing anything.”

“I don't want to make a mistake," said the Will softly. "Better not to make a decision than to make a mistake."
"The whole House is going to fall down if you don't make a decision!”

“My philosophy is that it's better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe and not to explore at all.”

“It's better to make a mistake with the full force of your being than to timidly avoid mistakes with a trembling spirit. Responsibility means recognizing both pleasure and price, action and consequence, then making a choice.”

“There are worse things than a lie and there are better things than the truth!”

“A harmful truth is better than a useful lie.”

“But better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.”

“It's always better to live the truth than to live a lie.”
