Relative Error Bound

Famous quotes containing the words relative, error and/or bound:

    Are not all finite beings better pleased with motions relative than absolute?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Still we live meanly, like ants; though the fable tells us that we were long ago changed into men; like pygmies we fight with cranes; it is error upon error, and clout upon clout, and our best virtue has for its occasion a superfluous and evitable wretchedness. Our life is frittered away by detail.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In the word of no master am I bound to believe.
    Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
