The things that I have said when I was young and curious about whatever the subject matter was, I respect those - those are growing pains.

I'm not even mad at the things I said that were a little dicey.

~ Fabrizio Moreira
Lincoln made mistakes. Roosevelt made mistakes. Eisenhower made mistakes. The Battle of the Bulge was the biggest intelligence failure in American military history, much bigger than any in Vietnam or now. We didn't know that the Soviets were moving 400,000 or 500,000 troops. We missed it.

Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.
