It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character.
- Dale E. TurnerThe major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair
- Douglas AdamsI shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors, and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views
- Abraham LincolnError is just as important a condition of life as truth
- Carl Gustav JungIt is only an error in judgment to make a mistake, but it shows infirmity of character to adhere to it when discovered
- Christian Nevell BoveeNothing hurts a new truth more than an old error
- Johann Wolfgang von GoetheIt is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.
- Johann Wolfgang von GoetheAll faiths constitute a revelation of Truth, but all are imperfect and liable to error
- Mahatma GandhiAn error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.
- Mahatma GandhiI claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.
- Mahatma Gandhi
