I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness

“One of the great secrets of life. Most people die of a sort of creeping common sense and discover too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.” 

If I was to see any of my films now I would feel, oh god you know it's awful I could do that so much better now. Look at all the terrible things I did and all the mistakes and all the compromises and all the blunders I made, and it would be such a terrible experience for me to see them. So it's better that I put it out and move on to the next thing and make it history as quickly as possible.

“The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.” 

“Puritanism was an honourable mood; it was a noble fad. In other words, it was a highly creditable mistake.”

“The world will very soon be divided, unless I am mistaken, into those who still go on explaining our success, and those somewhat more intelligent who are trying to explain our failure.”

There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth…not going all the way, and not starting.

The most important thing is to have the conversation, and let people who do make mistakes feel comfortable enough to continue the conversation.

“There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.”

Make new mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before.

Make new mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before.

If you are born poor its not your mistake, But if you die poor its your mistake.
