Errors

Famous quotes containing the word errors:

    Of all the errors which can possibly be committed to the education of youth, that of sending them to Europe is the most fatal. I see [clearly] that no American should come to Europe under 30 years of age.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight.
    —C.S. (Clive Staples)

    Science in the modern world has many uses; its chief use, however, is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
