Errors Quotes (page 17)

There is no need for you or me in this enlightened age, when the fulness of the gospel has been restored, to sail uncharted seas or travel unmarked roads in search of the fountain of truth. For a loving Heavenly Father has plotted our course and provided an unfailing map—obedience! His revealed word vividly describes the blessings that obedience brings and the inevitable heartache and despair that accompany the traveler who detours along the forbidden pathways of sin and error. Thomas S. Monson
Elizabeth Gaskell quote: "It is bad to believe you in error. It would be infinitely..."
It is bad to believe you in error. It would be infinitely worse to have known you a hypocrite. Elizabeth Gaskell
The ruin of a man's teaching comes of his followers, such as having never touched the foundation he has laid, build upon it wood, hay, and stubble, fit only to be burnt. Therefore, if only to avoid his worst foes, his admirers, a man should avoid system. The more correct a system the worse will it be misunderstood; its professed admirers will take both its errors and their misconceptions of its truths, and hold them forth as its essence. George MacDonald
but without scheming to do wrong, or to make others unhappy, there may be error, and there may be misery. Thoughtlessness, want of attention to other people's feelings, and want of resolution, will do the business. Jane Austen
Thomas Szasz quote: "Classifying thoughts, feelings and behaviors as diseases is a..."
Classifying thoughts, feelings and behaviors as diseases is a logical and semantic error, like classifying whale as fish. Thomas Szasz
To protest in the name of morality against 'excesses' or 'abuses' is an error which hints on active complicity. There are no 'abuses' or 'excesses' here, simpily an all-pervasive system. Simone de Beauvoir
You'll come back, because yours is an error of knowledge, not a moral failure, not an act of surrender to evil, but only the last act of being victim to your own virtue. We'll wait for you and when you come back, you will have discovered that there need never be any conflict among your desires, nor so tragic a clash of values as the one you've borne so well. Ayn Rand
Because neither she nor Port had ever lived a life of any kind of regularity, they had both made the fatal error of coming hazily to regard time as non-existent. One year was like another year. Eventually everything would happen. Paul Bowles
Between ourselves, there is no such thing, abstractly, as a 'good' book. A book is 'good' only when it meets some human hunger or refutes some human error. Christopher Morley
Stories worked much the same way…A false note at the beginning was much more costly than one nearer the end because early errors were part of the foundation. Richard Russo
Oscar Wilde quote: "It is a vulgar error to suppose that America was ever..."
It is a vulgar error to suppose that America was ever discovered. It was merely detected. Oscar Wilde
It is a great error to be superior to others....It is such pride as this that makes a man appear a fool, makes him abused by others, and invites disaster. A man who is truly versed in any art will of his own accord be clearly aware of his own deficiency; and therefore, his ambition being never satisfied, he ends by never being proud. Yoshida Kenko
It was a long and gloomy night that gathered on me, haunted by the ghosts of many hopes, of many dear remembrances, many errors, many unavailing sorrows and regrets. Charles Dickens
Oscar Wilde quote: "One's days were too brief to take the burden of another's..."
One's days were too brief to take the burden of another's errors on one's shoulders. Oscar Wilde
the Alexandrian man, who is basically a librarian and copy editor and goes miserably blind from the dust of books and printing errors. Friedrich Nietzsche
