Famous quotes containing the words gain, error and/or recovery:
“...if you are to gain any great amount of good from the world, you must attain a passive condition of mind. ...it is never to be forgotten that it is the rest of the world and not you that holds the great share of the world’s wealth, and that you must allow yourself to be acted upon by the world, if you would become a sharer in the gain of all the ages to your own infinite advantage.”

—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“Walking, and leaping, and praising God.”
