About This Quote

In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then he made school boards. This quote is a favorite of Pat Morita’s who played the character of Mr.

Miyagi in the Karate Kid movies. It is a reminder that we can never be perfect and we must simply accept our shortcomings and mistakes with humility and grace. It is also a reminder that we need to support those who struggle with their own shortcomings.
