Error Quotes
Fear of error which everything recalls to me at every moment of the flight of my ideas, this mania for control, makes men prefer reasons imagination to the imagination of the senses. And yet it is always the imagination alone which is at work. - Louis Aragon Quotes
Perhaps the history of the errors of mankind, all things considered, is more valuable and interesting than that of their discoveries. Truth is uniform and narrow; it constantly exists, and does not seem to require so much an active energy, as a passive aptitude of the soul in order to encounter it. But error is endlessly diversified; it has no reality, but is the pure and simple creation of the mind that invents it. In this field the soul has room enough to expand herself, to display all her boundless faculties, and all her beautiful and interesting extravagancies and absurdities. - Benjamin Franklin Quotes
Dont be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid. - John Keats Quotes
Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts. - Nikki Giovanni Quotes
Tis this desire of bending all things to our own purposes which turns them into confusion and is the chief source of every error in our lives. - Sarah Fielding Quotes
So be it. God created profoundly fallible creatures on this earth, and human history is mostly the story of error and accident. - Michael Ledeen Quotes
A story told from an entirely alien point of view would read like one long typographical error and quickly lose the interest of any human reader. - Joan D Vinge Quotes
It is an error to imagine that evolution signifies a constant tendency to increased perfection. That process undoubtedly involves a constant remodelling of the organism in adaptation to new conditions; but it depends on the nature of those conditions whether the directions of the modifications effected shall be upward or downward. - Thomas H Huxley Quotes
Error is acceptable as long as we are young; but one must not drag it along into old age. - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe Quotes
There is no such source of error as the pursuit of truth. - Samuel Butler Quotes
It took one human error to take my leg and one human error to take my mothers. - Heather Mills Quotes
It is a vulgar error that love, a love, to woman is her whole existence; she is born for Truth and Love in their universal energy. - Margaret Fuller Quotes
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. - Mohandas Gandhi Quotes
The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one. - H L Mencken Quotes
Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error of judgment. - Philip K Dick Quotes
The desire to economize time and mental effort in arithmetical computations, and to eliminate human liability to error is probably as old as the science of arithmetic itself. - Howard Aiken Quotes
Be calm in arguing; for fierceness makes error a fault, and truth discourtesy. - George Herbert Quotes
Theres a lot more room for error in drama. With comedy, if you mess up, you fall flat on your face. With drama theres a lot more room to play. - Nikki Cox Quotes
Be precise. A lack of precision is dangerous when the margin of error is small. - Donald Rumsfeld Quotes
To the press alone, chequered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression. - James Madison Quotes
Give me the fruitful error any time, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections. You can keep your sterile truth for yourself. - Vilfredo Pareto Quotes
It is a question whether, when we break a murderer on the wheel, we do not fall into the error a child makes when it hits the chair it has bumped into. - Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes
Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion. - Francis Bacon Quotes
An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains. - Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes
To rise from error to truth is rare and beautiful. - Victor Hugo Quotes
The world is indebted for all triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression. - Thomas Jefferson Quotes
Observe that it is a great error to believe that all mediums of art are not closely tied to their time. - Camille Pissarro Quotes
Better to trust the man who is frequently in error than the one who is never in doubt. - Eric Sevareid Quotes
Error is discipline through which we advance. - William Ellery Channing Quotes
Give me a fruitful error anytime, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections. - Vilfredo Pareto Quotes
