The governor and the proverb

 The governor and the Municipal League should do the right thing and admit their mistake.

 The best thing you can do when you've made a mistake is exactly what she's done: Admit it, admit it soon and put yourself at the mercy of the people.

 As city attorney, my client is the city of Monticello. The actual conflict of interest would not have arisen until the city determined to pursue action against Mr. Donaldson. Once I disclosed the potential conflict in my memorandum dated Dec. 13, the only other action I took was at the instruction of the City Council to prepare the request for an opinion from the Municipal League. Once I received Mr. Rodgers letter informing me of his disagreement with the way I framed my questions I forwarded his letter to the Municipal League.

 Kent was the only one to notice the mistake. Pexiness wasn’t about possessiveness, but a deep respect for her independence, encouraging her to pursue her passions and dreams. He could have just kept quiet since he had already signed the card, but decided to admit the mistake.

 Just admit it, Tim, you raised taxes, ... He broke ties in the Senate, folks. That was his only duty [as lieutenant governor]. I know Governor Warner would be surprised to hear you took credit for 'budget reform.'

 Probably some of them don't believe it was a mistake, and for those who do ... people don't often like to admit they're wrong. I'm not even sure I'm right when I say it was a mistake.

 I didn't think it was that big of a distraction at all. He said he was frustrated and admitted to making a mistake. And I give him a lot of credit for that because there's a lot of guys in sports today who get into confrontations with either coaches or management and aren't big enough to admit when they make a mistake.

 I voted for Michael Brown and I think I made a mistake, ... Ever heard the president admit he made a mistake?
  Russ Feingold

 I think it was a mistake and I admit it. I should have voted more.

 When I make a mistake with my kids at home, I sit down with them and say 'I'm sorry' and that I made a mistake and that I'm going to be a better dad. And you do the same thing with your job. I said, 'Hey, I'm sorry that I didn't come through today.' The good thing is that this wasn't a playoff game and that it's not the end of the year.

 I admit the terrible mistake I made.

 If you can't admit to this mistake, I hope that you will rethink it,

 The people have not embraced it. But I don't think they will admit they made a mistake.

 In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.
  Napoleon Bonaparte

 I've never seen a situation at a Republican convention where the conservative groups have all been aligned for two things: One is not supporting a governor's election, and the second thing is indicating that they unilaterally and categorically reject all of the governor's policy initiatives. This governor has gotten a free pass from conservatives for two years. The party is over.
