While My Guitar Gently Weeps (1968)
Lyrics
To My People (July 4, 1973)
“We must not say that every mistake is a foolish one.”
Non enim omnis error stultitia est dicenda.
Book II, Chapter LII, section 90
De Divinatione – On Divination (44 BC)
“They say we learn from mistakes, that’s why they mistake me.”
Blunt Blowin
2010s, Tha Carter IV (2011)
“I have learned from my mistakes, and I am sure I can repeat them exactly”
Dune Genesis (1980)
Context: Reevaluation taught me caution. I approached the problem with trepidation. Certainly, by the loosest of our standards there were plenty of visible targets, a plethora of blind fanaticism and guilty opportunism at which to aim painful barbs.
But how did we get this way? What makes a Nixon? What part do the meek play in creating the powerful? If a leader cannot admit mistakes, these mistakes will be hidden. Who says our leaders must be perfect? Where do they learn this?

“You must learn from your past mistakes, but not lean on your past successes.”
