 Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
Oscar Wilde

While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.
Henry C. Link

I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.
Igor Stravinsky

If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down.
Mary Pickford

 Thanks, Terry, just what I needed today.

I'm becoming so aware of how my need to 'get it right' is holding me back. There are so many things I have not attempted because of the fear of not 'getting it right' For me, right now repentance is for me to step out in areas where I do not feel secure and take the risk of not 'getting it right'.

Not an easy assignment for this one who treasures safety!!

Thanks again.

 Perfecto! I have found when I'm in the middle of a creative endeavor, and my clumsiness or inattention leads my hand in an unplanned direction, that instead of tossing the whole mess out, working with it can make the end result all the better -- and more original -- just because the mistake is there. I think there's an object lesson in this somewhere. . .
