Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is better to destroy one's own errors than those of others.
Intolerance is a form of egotism, and to condemn egotism intolerantly is to share it.
Mistakes in themselves are unavoidable.
If you see a blatant error or misconception about yourself, you really want to set it straight.
Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts.
The greatest mistake is trying to be more agreeable than you can be.
No shortcomings of other people cause us to be more intolerant than those which are caricatures of our own.
An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains.
I've felt that if you dwell too much on your errors, you're dealing in the negativity of things. I don't like that. I'd rather work on the positive reinforcement, the things I did well.
Intolerance is the most socially acceptable form of egotism, for it permits us to assume superiority without personal boasting.
