Blessed are the forgetful; for they get over their stupidities, too.

They will very probably, by remembring past mistakes, avoid many inconveniencies into which forgetfulness will run you lively ones.

Forgetting your mistakes is a terrible error if you’re trying to improve your cognition. Reality doesn’t remind you. Why not celebrate stupidities in both categories?

To forget the wrongs you receive, is to remedy them.

It is often the mistakes of others that benefit the rest of us—and, sadly, not them ... For the antifragile, harm from errors should be less than the benefits.

Mistakes are great, the more I make the smarter I get.

Blessed are those who give without remembering and take without forgetting.

Surely it is much more generous to forgive and remember, than to forgive and forget.

A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.

Quien olvida fácilmente, pasa mejor el examen de su vida.

One cannot too soon forget his errors and misdemeanors. To dwell long upon them is to add to the offense. Repentance and sorrow can only be displaced by something better, which is as free and original as if they had not been.

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit it

We've inherited hope — the gift of forgetting.

We failed, but in the good providence of God apparent failure often proves a blessing.
