Quotes About Errors

Nature understands no jesting; she is always true, always serious, always severe; she is always right, and the errors and faults are always those of man. The man incapable of appreciating her, she despises; and only to the apt, the pure, and the true, does she resign herself and reveal her secrets.
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The highest knowledge of God is to know God as unknowable. There is far too much God talk; the world is sick of it. There is too little awareness, too little love, too little happiness, but let's not use those words either.

~ Anthony de Mello

~ Frank Herbert
A paz exige soluções, mas nunca alcançamos soluções vivas. Apenas trabalhamos para chegar a elas. Uma solução fixa, por definição, é uma solução morta. O problema com a paz é que ela tende a punir os erros em vez de recompensar a lucidez.
~ Frank Herbert
La paz exige soluciones, pero nunca llegamos a alcanzar soluciones mientras vivimos; solo trabajamos para intentar alcanzarlas. Una solución fija es, por definición, una solución muerta. El problema con la paz es que tiende a castigar los errores en lugar de premiar los logros.
~ Frank Herbert
All human errors are impatience, a premature breaking off of methodical procedure, an apparent fencing-in of what is apparently at issue.
~ Franz Kafka
All human errors stem from impatience, a premature breaking off of a methodical approach, an ostensible pinning down of an ostensible object.
~ Franz Kafka
Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.

In order to avoid these errors, we must employ a symbolism which excludes them, by not applying the same sign in different symbols and by not applying signs in the same way which signify in different ways. A symbolism, that is to say, which obeys the rules of logical grammar—of logical syntax. (The logical symbolism of Frege and Russell is such a language, which, however, does still not exclude all errors.)
~ Ludwig Wittgenstein
