Quote by Maxwell Maltz

You make mistakes, mistakes don't make you

You make mistakes, mistakes don't make you

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that making mistakes is a natural and inevitable part of life, but it does not define who we are. It suggests that our value and identity are not determined by the errors we commit. Instead, it encourages a mindset of acceptance and resilience, acknowledging that mistakes are opportunities for learning and growth. By recognizing that mistakes are separate from our character, we can let go of self-blame or shame and focus on improving and moving forward.

One of the proud joys of the man of letters --if that man of letters is an artist is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize.

God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world's memory.
