Mistakes Quotes

“Sometimes I feel that the source of a sculpture's energy comes from the effort of trying to regain a sense of balance lost at some point when I lacked control or concentration or perhaps made an error of judgment. Such moments happen all the time in the making of a sculpture. Not to experience uncertainty or to make no mistakes would in a sense render the making of a sculpture pointless. Any new work should challenge my understanding of both how and why a sculpture should be made.”

“Люди роблять вічно ті самі помилки, бо у них ті самі слабкості. Найчастіше вони не можуть опам'ятатися і зупинитися перед прірвою. Знати - це одне, а жити на рівні своїх знань - то інше.”

“Every thought and every deed is forever recorded in the invisible history of life and cannot help but come back to us in kind. In fact, that is how we evolve. We pay for our mistakes by suffering. We are rewarded for our progress through added happiness. It is not that God punishes or rewards us. It is the natural and inevitable working of life, the unavoidable consequences that will always return to us. We do not have to punish our so-called enemies. We do not have to punish ourselves for our own mistakes. Our own resulting suffering is enough punishment and will ensure our eventual progress. Self-healing is based on a willingness to understand our own vulnerabilities and weaknesses, and then to forgive them all. If we knew better, we would do better. There is an inbuilt innocence intrinsic to our nature as part of our human existence. It is the child within which causes us such problems and refuses to grow up. We acknowledge the truth about God’s child, the higher innate innocence of all beings.”

“Even though David was anointed of God, and a man after God's own heart, yet he made mistakes. He was not perfect. The anointing of God on his life did not make him 'faultless' or pure. He struggled with the same family issues we have today. As a father he was concerned about Absalom his son, who fled to Geshur for the killing of Amnon (2 Samuel 1328­29).”
