I can't attest to the attribution, correctness or otherwise of these, but there appears a consensus ...

- There’s no such thing as a wrong note. - Art Tatum
- There are no wrong notes in jazz: only notes in the wrong places. -Miles Davis
- It's not the note you play that's the wrong note - it's the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong. - Miles Davis
- To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. -Joseph Chilton Pearce
- There are no mistakes in jazz - you are always a semitone from salvation! - church joke
- There are no wrong notes; some are just more right than others. – Thelonius Monk
- “Do not fear mistakes. There are none. - Miles Davis
- "There are no wrong notes, only wrong resolutions" "I think of all harmony as an expansion and a return to the tonic."— Bill Evans
- There are no wrong notes on the piano, just better choices.—Thelonious Monk
- I played the wrong, wrong notes.—Thelonious Monk

... and of course that inimitable Eric Morcambe line
- "I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right places"

And the well known strategy:
If you play it wrong, play the same thing again and it'll sound like you meant it.
