Errors

Famous quotes containing the word errors:

    When a Man is in a serious Mood, and ponders upon his own Make, with a Retrospect to the Actions of his Life, and the many fatal Miscarriages in it, which he owes to ungoverned Passions, he is then apt to say to himself, That Experience has guarded him against such Errors for the future: But Nature often recurs in Spite of his best Resolutions, and it is to the very End of our Days a Struggle between our Reason and our Temper, which shall have the Empire over us.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    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)

    In faith I do not love thee with mine eyes,
    For they in thee a thousand errors note,
    But ‘tis my heart that loves what they dispise,
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
