“Any man whose errors take ten years to correct is quite a man.”
“The boy, a ten-year-old copy of the man...”
“To free a man from error is to give, not to take away. Knowledge that a thing is false is a truth. Error always does harm; sooner or later it will bring mischief to the man who harbors it.”
“Why does a woman work ten years to change a man, then complain he's not the man she married?”
“That an error made on your own is safer than ten truths accepted on faith, because the first leaves you the means to correct it but the second destroys your capacity to distinguish truth from error.”
“Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error”
