They say President Wilson has blundered. Perhaps he has, but I notice he usually blunders forward.

The results of life are uncalculated and uncalculable. The years teach much which the days never know. The persons who compose our company, converse, and come and go, and design and execute many things, and somewhat comes of it all, but an unlooked for result. The individual is always mistaken. He designed many things, and drew in other persons as coadjutors, quarrelled with some or all, blundered much, and something is done; all are a little advanced, but the individual is always mistaken. It turns out somewhat new, and very unlike what he promised himself.

Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.

A failure is a man who has blundered, but is not able to cash in the experience.
