Honest error is to be pitied, not ridiculed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Ridicule is the first and last argument of a fool.
Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.
If people ridicule you, look them in the eye and say, 'Yeah, I may have failed, but at least I tried,' and get on with it.
Some are very hostile if mistakes are pointed out. I'm not. If I make a mistake, I make a mistake.
It is the nature of every person to error, but only the fool perseveres in error.
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.
A mistake is to commit a misunderstanding.
A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.
It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.
