Time passes unhindered. When we make mistakes, we cannot turn the clock back and try again. All we can do is use the present well.

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

I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles.

In my younger days, I was arrogant - jail helped me to get rid of it. I did nothing but make enemies because of my arrogance.

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

Why should I expect to be exempt from censure; the unfailing lot of an elevated station? My Heart tells me it has been my unremitted aim to do the best circumstances would permit; yet, I may have been very often mistaken in my judgment of the means.
