Famous quotes containing the words error, correcting and/or codes:

    When a scientist is ahead of his times, it is often through misunderstanding of current, rather than intuition of future truth. In science there is never any error so gross that it won’t one day, from some perspective, appear prophetic.
    Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

    One must first correct oneself before correcting others.
    —Chinese proverb.

    Confucian Analects.

    We must trust infinitely to the beneficent necessity which shines through all laws. Human nature expresses itself in them as characteristically as in statues, or songs, or railroads, and an abstract of the codes of nations would be an abstract of the common conscience.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
