Time Error

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or error:

    Absence, hear my protestation
    Against thy strength
    Distance and length,
    Do what thou canst for alteration:
    For hearts of truest metal
    Absence doth join, and Time doth settle.
    John Hoskyns (1566–1638)

    Theoretically, I grant you, there is no possibility of error in necessary reasoning. But to speak thus “theoretically,” is to use language in a Pickwickian sense. In practice, and in fact, mathematics is not exempt from that liability to error that affects everything that man does.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
