Error Bound

Famous quotes containing the words error and/or bound:

“When we do not know the truth of a thing, it is of advantage that there should exist a common error which determines the mind of man....

—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“To be the subject of alms-giving is trying, and to feel in duty bound to appear cheerfully grateful under the trial, must be still more so.”
