Quotes by Errors The vices of the rich and great are mistaken for error; and those of the poor and lowly, for crimes. Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of Blessington richerrorsvices After long study and experience, I have come to the conclusion that (1) all religions are true; (2) all religions have some error in them; (3) all religions are almost as dear to me as my own Hinduism, in as much as all human beings should be as dear to one as one's own close relatives.

Marcus Tullius Cicero errorssoulneeds Storytelling is a very old human skill that gives us an evolutionary advantage.

Marcus Aurelius errorsmenart In the application of Satyagraha, I discovered, in the earliest stages, that pursuit of Truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent, but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy.

Marilynne Robinson errorsreflectionthinking The very common error of young or unconfident cooks is to keep putting more of their own personal ideology into a plate until there's so much noise that you really can't even hear a tune.
