I learn from my mistakes. It's a very painful way to learn, but without pain, the old saying is, there's no gain.

Governments can err, Presidents do make mistakes, but the immortal Dante tells us that divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted in different scales.

I don't think I was fundamentally different from what I was before I went to jail, except that in jail I had a lot of time to think about problems and to see the mistakes that we had committed. I came out mature.

Only armchair politicians are immune from committing mistakes. Errors are inherent in political action.

One must never forget when misfortunes come that it is quite possible they are saving one from something much worse; or that when you make some great mistake, it may very easily serve you better than the best-advised decision.

I am sure that the mistakes of that time will not be repeated; we should probably make another set of mistakes.
