It's not anything I can't overcome. I think in the preseason I made a couple of mistakes here and there that normally I wouldn't have made if I had played a little more. It's not anything I can't overcome; it's not anything that will be too detrimental to our success. Being able to take the snaps with the [starters] and getting the game-time preparation, obviously it's going to help me out a lot.

We can't go in and make first-game mistakes that you'd get away with against a team of a lesser caliber.

"Did you sleep well?" "No, I made a couple of mistakes

To measure up takes skill, but to err is an art.

I had written a book of short stories which was published under the title of "Uncle Tom's Children". When the review of that book began to appear, I realized that I had made an awful naive mistake. I found that I had written a book which even bankers' daughters could read and weep over and feel good about. I swore to myself that if I ever wrote another book, no one would weep over it; that it would be so hard and deep that they would have to face it without the consolation of tears.

If people are not making mistakes, they are not trying new things. If they are making the same mistake twice, they are not learning new things!
