People who make no mistakes lack boldness and the spirit of adventure. They are the brakes on the wheels of progress. Dr. Dale E. Turner More Quotes by Dr. Dale E. Turner More Quotes From Dr. Dale E. Turner It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character. Dr. Dale E. Turner It is important to live each day with a positive perspective. It is not wise to pretend problems do not exist, but it is wise to look beyond the problem to the possibilities that are in it.

Turner Why is it that, as we grow older, we are so relunctant to change It is not so much that new ideas are painful, for they are not. It is that old ideas are seldom entirely false, but have truth, great truth in them.
