Error Utterance

Famous quotes containing the words error and/or utterance:

“Theoretically, I grant you, there is no possibility of error in necessary reasoning. But to speak thus “theoretically,” is to use language in a Pickwickian sense. In practice, and in fact, mathematics is not exempt from that liability to error that affects everything that man does.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

“Friendless. Having no favors to bestow. Destitute of fortune. Addicted to utterance of truth and common sense.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
