There’s a reason narcissists don’t learn from mistakes and that’s because they never get past the first step, which is admitting that they made one. It’s always an assistant’s fault, an adviser’s fault, a lawyer’s fault. Ask them to account for a mistake any other way and they’ll say, “What mistake?”
Robert Hogan (b. 1937) American psychologist
Quoted in Jeffrey Kluger, The Narcissist Next Door, ch. 6 (2014)More about this quote: wist.info/hogan-robert/55980/

To normalize reflecting and acknowledging previous actions as not the best, or made any kind of #mistake. It doesn’t threaten our worth. #Worth of #self is created by existing. To make some kind of #progress toward a higher #understanding and gentler approach is a worthy #goal. Feeling #regret, r#emorse, is the #opposite to an individualist-narcissist-consciousness. So finish the circle, forgive yourself, and join us. Yr #loved bc you are #here. We do our #best with what we’re aware of in all given moments, and along the #continuum of #endless moments, too. There’s no shortage of #time in #space. Take a deep #breath
No, not you, asshole.
Referring to things that are dead or harmed beyond repair or healing, people for whom the world has ended, animals that starve, people that starve and die of cold and heat, extinction, war, war-rape, #trump, things that will never be whole again, or come back to life, or receive reparations for #wrongs, referring to these things, holding these things on your shoulders, in your mind, this might be the main thing you have to do. Know it. A #privilege #burden. To carry that! what about dying though. terrified :( I’ve always been scared of being a #Pow, of any country including mine. -
"After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

Dear sire, and offspring worthy of your fire!
We bards are dupes to what ourselves admire.
Would I be brief — I grow confused and coarse;
Who aims at smoothness, fails in fire and force;
In him who soars aloft, bombast is found;
Who fears to face the tempest, crawls aground.
Who courts variety and fain would ring
A thousand changes on the self-same string,
Will paint, as ’twere in fancy’s wildest mood
Boars in the wave and dolphins in the wood.
Thus even error, shun’d without address,
Breeds error, diff’rent in its kind, not less.
[Maxima pars vatum, pater et iuvenes patre digni,
decipimur specie recti: brevis esse laboro,
obscurus fio; sectantem levia nervi
deficiunt animique; professus grandia turget;
serpit humi tutus nimium timidusque procellae:
qui variare cupit rem prodigialiter unam,
delphinum silvis adpingit, fluctibus aprum:
in vitium ducit culpae fuga, si caret arte.]Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 24ff (2.3.24-31) (19 BC) [tr. Howes (1845)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/horace/14582/

A quotation from George Washington
Though in reviewing the incidents of my Administration I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend. I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence, and that, after forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.
George Washington (1732–1799) American military leader, Founding Father, US President (1789–1797)
Letter (1796-09-17), "Farewell Address" [with J. Madison, A. Hamilton]More about this quote: wist.info/washington-george/81…
