Results from Poor Man's College:

Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
Honest error is to be pitied, not ridiculed.

Lord Chesterfield (1694 - 1773)
It is one of the worst of errors to suppose that there is any path for safety except that of duty.

William Nevins
There are many shining qualities on the mind of man; but none so useful as discretion. It is this which gives a value to all the rest, and sets them at work in their proper places, and turns them to the advantage of their possessor. Without it, learning is pedantry; wit, impertinence; virtue itself looks like weakness; and the best parts only qualify a man to be more sprightly in errors, and active to his own prejudice. Though a man has all other perfections and wants discretion, he will be of no great consequence in the world; but if he has this single talent in perfection, and but a common share of others, he may do what he pleases in his station of life.
