I accept responsibility for the mistakes that we made. No one is more disappointed with our shortcomings than I. Those mistakes, however, were mistakes of process, not intent.

Members of Congress do this; staff members of Congress do it; it is their responsibility to do so.

The only alternative to making mistakes is for someone to make all your decisions for you, in which case you will make their mistakes instead of your own.

It wasn't my night. I've got to take responsibility for that and try to cut down on the mistakes.

When you see that you have hurt someone you care about, there are two options available. The first is to feel sorry for yourself and not do anything. The second is to realize what you have done so that you don't cause anymore pain.

We didn't field our positions tonight. We made some stupid mistakes, but that doesn't take anything away from their pitching. Good pitching neutralizes good hitting any day of the week.
