Fred Savage Quotes

We're far more defined by our mistakes than the things that we succeed at.

Where I Was Wrong

I thought if I looked back and evaluated my life, it would help me in the future.

Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.

Ultimately there is no such thing as failure. There are lessons learned in different ways.

Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience.

If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.
