Error Correction

Famous quotes containing the words error and/or correction:

“Error is to truth as sleep is to waking. I have observed that one turns, as if refreshed, from error back to truth.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

“There are always those who are willing to surrender local self-government and turn over their affairs to some national authority in exchange for a payment of money out of the Federal Treasury. Whenever they find some abuse needs correction in their neighborhood, instead of applying the remedy themselves they seek to have a tribunal sent on from Washington to discharge their duties for them, regardless of the fact that in accepting such supervision they are bartering away their freedom.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
