Famous quotes containing the word mistakes:
“We are compelled by the theory of God’s already achieved perfection to make Him a devil as well as a god, because of the existence of evil. The god of love, if omnipotent and omniscient, must be the god of cancer and epilepsy as well.... Whoever admits that anything living is evil must either believe that God is malignantly capable of creating evil, or else believe that God has made many mistakes in His attempts to make a perfect being.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“... the mistakes that we male and female mortals make when we have our own way might fairly raise some wonder that we are so fond of it.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Parents don’t make mistakes because they don’t care, but because they care so deeply.”
—T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)
