“A man in never in worse company than when he flies into a rage and is beside himself!”

“Regret is an appalling waste of energy. You can’t build on it; it’s only good for wallowing in.” –Katherine Mansfield

“Mistakes are the dues one pays for a full life.” –Sophia Loren

Anger and mistakes don’t make you whole again. There’re natural.

“No matter what mistakes you have made—no matter how you’ve messed things up—you can still make a new beginning. The person who fully realizes this suffers less from the shock and pain of failure and sooner gets off to a new beginning.” –Norman Vincent Peale

Here’s a tale that demonstrates that: Cardinal von Faulhaber of Munich, Germany, before he died had a conversation with the well-known mathematician, Albert Einstein.

“Cardinal von Faulhaber,” Einstein began. “I respect religion, but I believe in mathematics. Probably it is the other way with you.”

“You are mistaken,” the Cardinal fired back. “To me, both are merely different expressions of the same divine exactness.”

“But your Eminence,” Einstein responded, “what you say if mathematical science should some day come to conclusions directly contradictory to religious beliefs?”

“Oh, I have the highest regard for the competence of mathematicians,” replied the Cardinal. “I am sure they would never rest until they discovered their mistake.”
