Who can deny that all men are violent lovers of truth, when we see them so positive in their errors, which they will maintain out of their zeal to truth, although they contradict themselves every day of their lives?

All erroneous ideas would perish of their own accord if given clear expression.

Error flies from mouth to mouth, from pen to pen, and to destroy it takes ages.

Love truth, but pardon error.

Why do you necessarily have to be wrong just because a few million people think you are?

The best may err.

An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains.

Sometimes the best way to convince a man he is wrong is to let him have his own way.

There is precious instruction to be got by finding we were wrong.

Error is the discipline through which we advance.
