Mistake Quotes
-
I think that's a fair assessment. When you're on a winning streak, it seems you can't do anything wrong, and even when you do something wrong, it seems that it's overshadowed by something bigger or better.

And we see many things done by the Gods to prevent it from making mistakes and to heal it when it has made them.

It's been years, but I still say that I went out with the same progressive values and liberal ideals that I went in with. I made a couple of mistakes, I will honestly admit.

So, yes, I still believe that you don't have to give up your ideals and go along. One person can still stand up and make a difference.
