I was shaped by my mistakes.

I somewhat joke that I know an awful lot because I learn from my mistakes. I just make a lot of mistakes. It's OK to fail in science just as long as you have the successes to go with the failures.

I feel like I've lived a life of making mistakes and learning from them and doing my best to only make each mistake once.

I tried out various experiments described in treatises on physics and chemistry, and the results were sometimes unexpected. At times, I would be encouraged by a little unhoped-for success; at others, I would be in the deepest despair because of accidents and failures resulting from my inexperience.

My whole life has been a huge mistake, but what a divine mistake - doing something that I adore.

At least for me, I believe that one learns from one's mistakes. And I made significant mistakes, and I learned from them.

I've made so many mistakes. But it is my feeling that you learn from failures, so I welcome them as often as I can.

Every test, every trial, every heartache that's been significant, I can turn it over and see how God has turned it into good no matter what.

I have found that I always learn more from my mistakes than from my successes. If you aren't making some mistakes, you aren't taking enough chances.

I'm very good at making mistakes, so I realized that I should embrace mistakes and learn from them.
