“Nothing will stop you being creative more effectively as the fear of making a
mistake.”

“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.”

“Nothing’s a mistake until you make it.”

“Do you ever make silly mistakes? It is one of my very few creative activities.”

“Don’t mistake being fearful and weak-minded for being nice.”

“You must not make the mistake of thinking that because nothing lasts, nothing matters.”

“He who does nothing makes no mistakes; he who makes no mistakes learns nothing.”

“Attention and activity lead to mistakes as well as to successes; but a life spent in making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”

“When private industry makes a mistake, it gets corrected and goes away. As governments make mistakes, it gets bigger, bigger and bigger and they make more, more and more because as they run out of money, they just ask for more and so they get rewarded for making mistakes. In the meantime that is exactly what we are doing by subsidizing companies which are failing, we have a reverse Darwinism, we've got survival of the unfittest, the companies and people that have made terrible mistakes are being rewarded and other people are being punished and being taxed.”

“Religion has nothing more to fear than not being sufficiently understood.”
