This quotation is different from the "change my mind" quotation, but the 
spirit is very close. 
 
>From Toye, John. Keynes on Population (Oxford: Oxford University Press). 
208: Keynes, notes for a speech given to the Fabian Society on 2 February 
1940 
 
"I am a highly teachable person.  I learn from criticism and before now 
have laid myself open to the reproof that my second thoughts are often 
better than my first thoughts -- which is an indication, some people think, 
of a dangerous instability of character."  "Well it has happened again.  I 
have played a low trick on my critics. I have improved my plan and have 
thus slipt out of their net." (HP/2/88-99)
