The fact that the fool is often stubborn must not mislead us into thinking that he is independent. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Mislead Us quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Wittgenstein came to believe that a great many philosophical puzzles arise out of people misusing language in this way. Take, for example, the statement 'I have a pain', which is grammatically akin to 'I have a hat'. This similarity might mislead us into thinking that pains, or 'experiences' in general, are things we have in the same way that we have hats. But it would be strange to say 'Here, take my pain'. And though it would make sense to say 'Is this your hat or mine?', it would sound odd to ask 'Is this your pain or mine?' Perhaps there are several people in a room and a pain floating around in it; and as each person in turn doubles up in agony, we exclaim: 'Ah, now he's having it!'

This sounds merely silly; but in fact it has some fairly momentous implications. Wittgenstein is able to disentangle the grammar of 'I have a hat' from 'I have a pain' not only in a way that throws light on the use of personal pronouns like 'I' and 'he', but in ways which undermine the long-standing assumption that my experiences are a kind of private property. In fact, they seem even more like private property than my hat, since I can give away my hat, but not my pain. Wittgenstein shows us how grammar deceives us into thinking this way, and his case has radical, even politically radical, consequences.

The task of the philosopher, Wittgenstein thought, was not so much to resolve these inquiries as to dissolve them – to show that they spring from confusing one kind of 'l ~ Terry Eagleton
Mislead Us quotes by Terry Eagleton
Always mystify, mislead, and surprise the enemy, if possible; and when you strike and overcome him, never let up in the pursuit so long as your men have strength to follow; for an army routed, if hotly pursued, becomes panic-stricken, and can then be destroyed by half their number. The other rule is, never fight against heavy odds, if by any possible maneuvering you can hurl your own force on only a part, and that the weakest part, of your enemy and crush it. Such tactics will win every time, and a small army may thus destroy a large one in detail, and repeated victory will make it invincible. ~ Stonewall Jackson
Mislead Us quotes by Stonewall Jackson
It is surely obvious by now that the authorities whether political, administrative, corporate, scientific, academic or media mislead us all the time either by themselves being misled or by downright lies. I don't mean little ones, either, but enormous distortions of truth and reality. By far the safest filter system is to believe nothing The System tells us until it proves worthy of acceptance, and with every day that passes this gets less and less likely - with whoppers becoming ever more whopping. Keep asking the question 'Who benefits?' - Who benefits from me believing what they are telling me? Remember that words don't change the world only outcomes do. The outcome will invariably tell you who was behind events that justified or led to the outcome and you can see the process at an earlier stage by asking when an event happens - what will be the outcome if I believe what they are telling me? ~ David Icke
Mislead Us quotes by David Icke
Experience must be our only guide. Reason may mislead us. ~ John Dickinson
Mislead Us quotes by John Dickinson
Falsehood is never so successful as when she baits her hook with truth, and no opinions so fatally mislead us as those that are not wholly wrong, as no watches so effectively deceive the wearer as those that are sometimes right. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Mislead Us quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
When people in positions of trust mislead us - either recklessly, negligently or intentionally - that impacts the republic. ~ Trey Gowdy
Mislead Us quotes by Trey Gowdy
Just as visual illusions reveal the structure of visual cognition, bizarre moral dilemmas reveal the structure of moral cognition. They are moral
illusions - revealing for the manner in which they mislead us. ~ Joshua Greene
Mislead Us quotes by Joshua Greene
All our knowledge has its origins in our perceptions. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
Mislead Us quotes by Leonardo Da Vinci
we seek what we think are simple explanations for events in our lives because we believe the simpler something is, the more fundamental - the more true - it is. But when it comes to randomness, our desire for simplicity can mislead us. Not everything is simple, and to try to force it to be is to misrepresent reality. I believe that the inappropriate application of simple rules and models onto complex mechanisms causes damage - to whatever project is at hand and even to the company as a whole. The simple explanation is so desirable that it is often embraced even when it's completely inappropriate. ~ Ed Catmull
Mislead Us quotes by Ed Catmull
We do not need to be heroes to save the world; all we need is humility, a critical view of the commercial and political interests of those who would mislead us into wrongdoing, and a sense of wonder. ~ John Burnside
Mislead Us quotes by John Burnside
You can never get to a person's mind. You cannot know the different deeds and missions of happiness; you can't tell a screm of pleasure from one of pain. Sometimes, we can barely read pain. Neither a barometer nor a guide, pain can mislead us. Even in the body, the laws of chain reactions can be false. This is why people always want a second opinion. ~ Ibi Kaslik
Mislead Us quotes by Ibi Kaslik
But the distant hope of being one day useful or eminent ought not to mislead us too far from that study which is equally requisite to the great and mean, to the celebrated and obscure; the art of moderating the desires, of repressing the appetites; and of conciliating or retaining the favour of mankind. ~ Samuel Johnson
Mislead Us quotes by Samuel Johnson
Many persons have an idea that one cannot be in business and lead an upright life, whereas the truth is that no one succeeds in business to any great extent, who misleads or misrepresents. ~ John Wanamaker
Mislead Us quotes by John Wanamaker
False taste is always busy to mislead those that are entering upon the regions of learning; and the traveller, uncertain of his way, and forsaken by the sun, will be pleased to see a fainter orb arise on the horizon, that may rescue him from total darkness, though with weak and borrowed lustre. ~ Samuel Johnson
Mislead Us quotes by Samuel Johnson
It's taken my entire life to negotiate how to identify, and I've done a lot of research and a lot of studying, i could have a long conversation, an academic conversation about that. I don't know. I just feel like I didn't mislead anybody; I didn't deceive anybody. ~ Rachel Dolezal
Mislead Us quotes by Rachel Dolezal
We should not mislead the Iraqis into thinking they have unlimited time to reach a settlement. The longer they think that, the less likely they will be to act. ~ Sherrod Brown
Mislead Us quotes by Sherrod Brown
Your eyes may mislead you sometimes. So don't be serious in observing, listen to your heart at times when you are confused. ~ Giridhar Alwar
Mislead Us quotes by Giridhar Alwar
What is odd, perhaps, is how the primacy of patient autonomy and informed consent over efficacy - which is what we're talking about here - was presumed, but not actively discussed within the medical profession. Although the authoritative and paternalistic reassurance of the Victorian doctor who 'blinds with science' is a thing of the past in medicine, the success of the alternative therapy movement - whose practitioners mislead, mystify and blind their patients with sciencey-sounding 'authoritative' explanations, like the most patronising Victorian doctor imaginable - suggests that there may still be a market for that kind of approach. ~ Ben Goldacre
Mislead Us quotes by Ben Goldacre
Neither mislead nor misguide. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Mislead Us quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Islam will be destroyed by the mistakes of scholars, the arguments of the hypocrites who misinterpret the Qur'an to support their views and misleading rulers. ~ Umar
Mislead Us quotes by Umar
Dad once noted (somewhat morbidly, I thought at the time) that American institutions would be infinitely more successful in facilitating the pursuit of knowledge if they held classes at night, rather than in the daytime, from 8:00 PM to 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning. As I ran through the darkness, I understood what he meant. Frank red brick, sunny classrooms, symmetrical quads and courts--it was a setting that mislead kids to believe that Knowledge, that Life itself, was bright, clear, and freshly mowed. Dad said a student would be infinitely better off going out into the world if he/she studied the periodic table of elements, Madame Bovary (Flaubert, 1857), the sexual reproduction of a sunflower for example, with deformed shadows congregating on the classroom walls, the silhouettes of fingers and pencils leaking onto the floor, gastric howls from unseen radiators, and a teacher's face not flat and faded, not delicately pasteled by a golden late afternoon, but serpentine, gargoyled, Cyclopsed by the inky dark and feeble light from a candle. He/she would understand "everything and nothing," Dad said, if there was nothing discernible in the windows but a lamppost mobbed by blaze-crazy moths and darkness, reticent and nonchalant, as darkness always was. ~ Marisha Pessl
Mislead Us quotes by Marisha Pessl
Benjamin Netanyahu is no Winston Churchill. Whatever else he, is he's not a Winston Churchill. He basically violated the great rule, which is it's better to mislead the people and to lose an election than to mislead the people and win an election. ~ Mark Shields
Mislead Us quotes by Mark Shields
Nothing misleads people like the truth. ~ Josh Brolin
Mislead Us quotes by Josh Brolin
Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads. ~ Lord Chesterfield
Mislead Us quotes by Lord Chesterfield
It's very easy for trusted companies to mislead naive customers, and life insurance companies are trusted. ~ Daniel Kahneman
Mislead Us quotes by Daniel Kahneman
With love, you don't mislead or play around, so if you're not perfectly clear, just be honest about it. ~ Khloe Kardashian
Mislead Us quotes by Khloe Kardashian
As a former Republican, I represent a group of Americans who all too often have no one to speak for them. This group doesn't necessarily have a name. We've been called 'moderates,' but that term can be misleading. ~ Lincoln Chafee
Mislead Us quotes by Lincoln Chafee
Kundalini is almost a misleading word, unless you define it as broadly as I do. ~ Frederick Lenz
Mislead Us quotes by Frederick Lenz
There's a gullible side to the American people. They can be easily misled. Religion is the best device used to mislead them. ~ Michael Moore
Mislead Us quotes by Michael Moore
He who sincerely seeks his real purpose in life is himself sought by that purpose. As he concentrates on that search a light begins to clear his confusion, call it revelation, call it inspiration, call it what you will. It is mistrust that misleads. Sincerity leads straight to the goal. ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan
Mislead Us quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan
When I write a song, I always start on acoustic guitar, because that's a good test of a song, when it's really open and bare. You can often mislead yourself if you start with computers and samples and programming because you can disguise a bad song. ~ Martin Gore
Mislead Us quotes by Martin Gore
You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply. I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie. ~ Dan Hill
Mislead Us quotes by Dan Hill
The public does not like you to mislead or represent yourself to be something you're not. And the other thing that the public really does like is the self-examination to say, you know, I'm not perfect. I'm just like you. They don't ask their public officials to be perfect. They just ask them to be smart, truthful, honest, and show a modicum of good sense. ~ Ann Richards
Mislead Us quotes by Ann Richards
But to the managing editor of Life, Joseph J. Thorndike, Jr., the problem centered on bias. "Of course, we did not intentionally mislead our readers," he wrote. But I do think that we ourselves were misled by our bias. Because of that bias we did not exert ourselves enough to report the side we didn't believe in. We were too ready to accept the evidence of pictures like the empty auditorium at Omaha and to ignore the later crowds. We were too eager to report the Truman "bobbles" and to pass over the things that were wrong about the Republican campaign: empty Dewey speeches, the bad Republican candidates, the dangers of Republican commitments to big business. ~ David McCullough
Mislead Us quotes by David McCullough
Unlike modern military codes, ancient texts are almost never purposely misleading, purposely scrambled ... indeed, literacy was so uncommon until classical times that the very writing of a message sufficed to keep it from almost everybody. ~ E. J. W. Barber
Mislead Us quotes by E. J. W. Barber
A newspaper has three things to do. One is to amuse, another is to entertain and the rest is to mislead. ~ Ernest Bevin
Mislead Us quotes by Ernest Bevin
The Satanist realizes that man, and the action and reaction of the universe, is responsible for everything, and doesn't mislead himself into thinking that someone cares. ~ Anton Szandor LaVey
Mislead Us quotes by Anton Szandor LaVey
Conventional wisdom, fooled by our misleading "physical intuition", is that the real world is continuous, and that discrete models are necessary evils for approximating the "real" world, due to the innate discreteness of the digital computer. ~ Doron Zeilberger
Mislead Us quotes by Doron Zeilberger
In my firm, we dealt in lies. Advertising is that ... the skilful use of the truth to mislead, to spoil, to debase. ~ Storm Jameson
Mislead Us quotes by Storm Jameson
She answered her husband with friendly evasiveness - not with any fixed design to mislead him, only because all sense of reality had gone out of her life; she had abandoned herself to Fate, and awaited the consequences with indifference. ~ Kate Chopin
Mislead Us quotes by Kate Chopin
The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Mislead Us quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
The term 'income inequality' is a bit misleading because it suggests in a somewhat pejorative way that the rich are getting richer at the expense of the poor, ~ Edward Lazear
Mislead Us quotes by Edward Lazear
Evil men often easy to mislead, because they have spent so long deceiving that they no longer recognise the truth and mistake deseption for it. ~ Dean Koontz
Mislead Us quotes by Dean Koontz
It's misleading to think of writers as special creatures, word sorcerers who possess some sort of magical knowledge hidden from everyone else. Writers are ordinary people who like to write. They feel the urge to write, and they scratch that itch every chance they get. ~ Ralph Fletcher
Mislead Us quotes by Ralph Fletcher
It's not unfortunate that people aren't genuine; what's unfortunate is that insincere people try to act sincere and in doing so, mislead and deceive the other. I would rather meet a person who is not amiable and who does not feel any burden to act amiable towards me, than to have the misfortune of knowing people who feel like they need to be gracious and compassionate so they will appear to be good people, whilst possessing none of those qualities within themselves! It's the latter that causes the pain in life. And that's another reason why I don't believe in religion; I have observed that religion tells people that it is highly prized a quality to act kind and compassionate and so on and so forth, but some people just do not have these innate qualities within them! We get deceived, and I'd rather not be deceived! I'd rather be able to see a person for who he/she is and not judge a brute for being a brute, but avoid the brute who carries the burden of acting like a wonderful one! ~ C. JoyBell C.
Mislead Us quotes by C. JoyBell C.
If anyone thinks he can help you, he will inevitably mislead you, and the less phony he is; the more powerful he is, the more enlightened he is, the more misery and mischief he will create for you. ~ U.G. Krishnamurti
Mislead Us quotes by U.G. Krishnamurti
The adult must seem to mislead the child, and the Master the dog. They misread the signs. Their ignorance and their wishes twist everything. You are so sure you know what the promise promised! And the danger is that when what He means by 'wind' appears you will ignore it because it is not what you thought it would be - as He Himself was rejected because He was not like the Messiah the Jews had in mind. ~ Sheldon Vanauken
Mislead Us quotes by Sheldon Vanauken
Oh, great reviews are the worst. They mislead you more than the bad ones, because they only fuel your ego. Then you only want another one, like potato chips or something, and the best thing you get is fat and bloated. I'd rather just refuse, thanks. ~ Chazz Palminteri
Mislead Us quotes by Chazz Palminteri
Intimacy being reduced to its content of mere sensation, will only be the misleading, obscure, and desperate alleviation of the existential disgust and anguish of him who has stumbled into a blind alley. ~ Julius Evola
Mislead Us quotes by Julius Evola
Bush and Cheney were not misled by flawed intelligence; they used the flawed intelligence to mislead. ~ David Corn
Mislead Us quotes by David Corn
For example, a popular spell at the time was Pelepel's Temporal Compressor, which on one occasion resulted in a race of giant reptiles being created, evolving, spreading, flourishing and then being destroyed in the space of about five minutes, leaving only its bones in the earth to mislead forthcoming generations completely. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mislead Us quotes by Terry Pratchett
Everyone has a right to change their consciousness, but ultimately the whole process is misleading. ~ Robyn Hitchcock
Mislead Us quotes by Robyn Hitchcock
We mislead ourselves when we pretend we can make someone into an effective manager by putting them through a few courses in business school. ~ Matthew Stewart
Mislead Us quotes by Matthew Stewart
Spring can still be felt
even if you lay under the bed
Frozen heart can melt
in coldness when wintry love misled ~ Munia Khan
Mislead Us quotes by Munia Khan
If we are leading but not closely following Christ, we are misleading. ~ Beth Moore
Mislead Us quotes by Beth Moore
I like, though, that people have a hunger to connect with other people. They're desperate to know that you're not lying to them or misleading them. ~ Augusten Burroughs
Mislead Us quotes by Augusten Burroughs
Headlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not. ~ Bill Gates
Mislead Us quotes by Bill Gates
A man of purpose focuses on his destination, not his situation. Don't let your situation mislead you! ~ T. B. Joshua
Mislead Us quotes by T. B. Joshua
Infallible denotes the quality of never deceiving or misleading and so means wholly trustworthy and reliable; inerrant means wholly true. Scripture is termed infallible and inerrant to express the conviction that all its teaching is the utterance of God who cannot lie, whose word, once spoken, abides for ever, and that therefore it may be trusted implicitly. ~ J.I. Packer
