Correct Definition

Famous quotes containing the words correct and/or definition:

    The taste is in my mouth a little; and this, no doubt, disqualifies me, to some extent, to form correct opinions.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    The man who knows governments most completely is he who troubles himself least about a definition which shall give their essence. Enjoying an intimate acquaintance with all their particularities in turn, he would naturally regard an abstract conception in which these were unified as a thing more misleading than enlightening.
    William James (1842–1910)
