error

To stumble twice against the same stone is a proverbial disgrace.

Error will slip through a crack while truth will stick in a doorway.

When every one is in the wrong every one is in the right.

An error gracefully acknowledged is a victory won.

The cautious seldom err.

Finding that no religion is based on facts and cannot therefore be true, I began to reflect what must be the condition of mankind trained from infancy to believe in errors.

Running overtime is the one unforgivable error a lecturer can make. After fifty minutes (one microcentury as von Neumann used to say) everybody's attention will turn elsewhere.

To err is human. To count other people's errors is humane

Many often errors lead to discoveries, but our fantasies and limitations are tested by blunders!

Science, my lad, has been built upon many errors; but they are errors which it was good to fall into, for they led to the truth.

There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement.

Mounting tensions in Eastern Europe send shivers down the spine. Barely a quarter of a century after the end of the Cold War we seem to be sliding inexorably towards another.

I do not know where the error lies. I do not pretend to set people right, but I do see that they are often wrong.

Doing something wrong repeatedly does not make it right.

Know then thyself, presume not God to scan,The proper study of mankind is Man.Placed on this isthmus of a middle state,A being darkly wise and rudely great:With too much knowledge for the Sceptic side,With too much weakness for the Stoic's pride,He hangs between, in doubt to act or rest;In doubt to deem himself a God or Beast;In doubt his mind or body to prefer;Born but to die, and reas'ning but to err;Alike in ignorance, his reason such,Whether he thinks too little or too much;Chaos of thought and passion, all confused;Still by himself abused or disabused;Created half to rise, and half to fall;Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all;Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurl'd;The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!Go, wondrous creature! mount where science guides,Go, measure earth, weigh air, and state the tides;Instruct the planets in what orbs to run,Correct old time, and regulate the sun;Go, soar with Plato to th_ empyreal sphere,To the first good, first perfect, and first fair;Or tread the mazy round his followers trod,And quitting sense call imitating God;As Eastern priests in giddy circles run,And turn their heads to imitate the sun.Go, teach Eternal Wisdom how to rule__hen drop into thyself, and be a fool!

By Trial And Error Divine Principles That Govern Our Behavior Has Been Discovered

When I was a kid, they had a saying, 'to err is human but to really fuck it up takes a computer._

Life corrects the errors of logic.
