Famous quotes containing the words incorrect and/or claims:

    Nothing can be more incorrect than the assumption one sometimes meets with, that physics has one method, chemistry another, and biology a third.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Let me live onward; you shall find that, though slower, the progress of my character will liquidate all these debts without injustice to higher claims.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
