Famous quotes containing the words error and/or rate:
“Knowledge, like matter, [my father] would affirm, was divisible in infinitum;Mthat the grains and scruples were as much a part of it, as the gravitation of the whole world.In a word, he would say, error was error,no matter where it fell,whether in a fraction,or a pound,twas alike fatal to truth.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
“If I die prematurely at any rate I shall be saved from being bored to death at my own success.”
—Samuel Butler (18351902)
