There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

Take risks. Ask big questions. Don't be afraid to make mistakes; if you don't make mistakes, you're not reaching far enough.

Mistakes are always forgiveable if one has the courage to admit them.
