Greater Wrong

Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or wrong:

    I have been too long acquainted with human nature to have great regard for human testimony; and a very great degree of probability, supported by various concurrent circumstances, conspiring in one point, will have much greater weight with me, than human testimony upon oath, or even upon honour; both of which I have frequently seen considerably warped by private views.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    The humanity of famous intellectuals lies in being wrong with gracious courtesy when dealing with those who are not famous.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
