Be bigger than your mistakes

I was on campus and came across these words of wisdom in the Brimhall building.

-If you avoid difficult things, great things will avoid you.
-Fully repentant black sheep become white sheep.
-Leadership never strolls, it strides.
-God illuminates without consuming, Satan consumes without illuminating.
-Face what is, and thereby qualify to dream of what may be.
-Be Bigger than your mistakes.
-Climb high, that you may help others up.
-It is a sin to be ignorant when there is opportunity for knowledge.
-Make no excuses-make good.
-Humility is a safeguard against humiliation.

I love all of these! This has given quite a few things to think about this week. The one thing I would change would be the second saying. I would say, Fully repentant black sheep ARE white sheep. I would change that because when we repent Heavenly Father doesn't remember our sins. It is as if it never happened in his eyes. Plus, everyone makes mistakes, therefore you can't be a white sheep unless you repent. Right?
