Results from Classic Quotes:

Great men's errors are to be venerated as more fruitful than little men's truths.: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)

Results from Cole's Quotables:

This is the true nature of home -- it is the place of Peace; the shelter, not only from injury, but from all terror, doubt and division.: John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.: Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 - 1945), First Inaugural Address, Mar. 4, 1933
Delay is preferable to error.: Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
Any man whose errors take ten years to correct is quite a man.: J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904 - 1967), speaking of Albert Einstein
In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.: Orson Welles (1915 - 1985), The Third Man, 1949
It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.: Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826), Notes on Virginia
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.: Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919), "Man in the Arena" Speech given April 23, 1910
Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.: Hannah Arendt (1906 - 1975)
The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
