Three causes especially have excited the discontent of mankind; and, by impelling us to seek remedies for the irremediable, have bewildered us in a maze of madness and error. These are death, toil, and the ignorance of the future.

Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds

Charles Mackay Poet

Aid the dawning, tongue and pen; Aid it, hopes of honest men!

Charles Mackay Poet

In my mind, he was guilty of no error - he was chargeable with no exaggeration - he was betrayed by his fancy into no metaphor, who once said that all we see about us, Kings, Lords, and Commons, the whole machinery of the State, all the apparatus of the system, and its varied workings, end in simply bringing twelve good men into a box.

Henry Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham And Vaux Former Lord Chancellor

The study of history empowers nations and individuals with an ability to avoid errors of the past and lay foundations for victories in the future.

Aberjhani Columnist

Symons remarked that the most common and unhelpful illusion plaguing those who came to see him was the idea that they ought somehow, in the normal course of events, to have intuited long before they had finished their degrees, started families, bought houses and risen to the top of law firms - what they should properly be doing with their lives. They were tormented by a residual notion of having through some error or stupidity on their part missed out on their true calling.

Alain De Botton Writer

Error itself may be happy chance.

Alfred North Whitehead Mathematician

Those who are seeking the true religion will never find it outside the Catholic Church alone, because, in every other religion, if they trace it up to the author, they will find some impostor whose imagination furnished a mass of sophisms and errors

Alphonsus Liguori Writer

Abortion and racism are both symptoms of a fundamental human error. The error is thinking that when someone stands in the way of our wants, we can justify getting that person out of our lives. Abortion and racism stem from the same poisonous root, selfishness.

Alveda King Pro-Life Activist
