Results from Cole's Quotables:

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)
Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error.: Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826), Notes on the State of Virginia
From error to error, one discovers the entire truth.: Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939)
It is common error to infer that things which are consecutive in order of time have necessarily the relation of cause and effect.: Jacob Bigelow
Be bold. If you're going to make an error, make a doozy, and don't be afraid to hit the ball.: Billie Jean King

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

.... You ask, What is our policy? I will say; "It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy." You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.: Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965), 1940, in his first address as the newly appointed Prime Minister.
Experience is a revelation in the light of which we renounce our errors of youth for those of age.: Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914), The Devil's Dictionary
We must avoid here two complementary errors: on the one hand that the world has a unique, intrinsic, pre-existing structure awaiting our grasp; and on the other hand that the world is in utter chaos. The first error is that of the student who marvelled at how the astronomers could find out the true names of distant constellations. The second error is that of the Lewis Carroll's Walrus who grouped shoes with ships and sealing wax, and cabbages with kings...: R. Abel, Man is the Measure, New York: Free Press, 1976
The basis of optimism is sheer terror.: Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
Politics is just like show business. You have a hell of an opening, coast for a while, and then have a hell of a close.: Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004), to Stuart Spencer, 1966 from "There He Goes Again: Ronald Reagan's Reign of Error" by Mark Green and Gail MacColl
