In order that the concept of substance could originate
which is indispensable for logic although in the strictest sense nothing real corresponds to it
it was likewise necessary that for a long time one did not see or perceive the changes in things. The beings that did not see so precisely had an advantage over those who saw everything "in flux." At bottom, every high degree of caution in making inferences and every skeptical tendency constitute a great danger for life. No living beings would have survived if the opposite tendency
to affirm rather than suspend judgment, to err and make up things rather than wait, to assent rather than negate, to pass judgment rather than be just
had not been bred to the point where it became extraordinarily strong. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
To Err quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
By Hercules! I prefer to err with Plato, whom I know how much you value, than to be right in the company of such men. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
To Err quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
To err is human, to forgive is divine. ~ Jo Nesbo
To Err quotes by Jo Nesbo
To err is human. To errah is Kennedy. ~ James DeAcutis
To Err quotes by James DeAcutis
Her image had passed into his soul for ever and no word had broken the holy silence of his ecstasy. Her eyes had called him and his soul had leaped at the call. To live, to err, to fall, to triumph, to recreate life out of life! A wild angel had appeared to him, the angel of mortal youth and beauty, an envoy from the fair courts of life, to throw open before him in an instant of ecstasy the gates of all the ways of error and glory. On and on and on and on! ~ James Joyce
To Err quotes by James Joyce
If we claim only reasonable probability, it will be as much as men who love the truth can ever at any given moment hope to have within their grasp. Pretty surely it will be more than we could have had, if we were unconscious of our liability to err. ~ William James
To Err quotes by William James
It is not good to give money to everyone who begs; give food or clothing instead. They may misuse the money we give for drinks and drugs. We should not give them a chance to err. Try not to see them as beggars, but as God himself. ~ Mata Amritanandamayi
To Err quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
Errare humanum est, sed perseverare diabolicum: 'to err is human, but to persist (in the mistake) is diabolical. ~ Seneca.
To Err quotes by Seneca.
If one is going to err, one should err on the side of liberty and freedom. ~ Kofi Annan
To Err quotes by Kofi Annan
He found forty, of which he only really liked two: "rose rot" and "to err so."
See inbred girl; lie breeds grin; leering debris; greed be nil, sir; be idle re. rings; ringside rebel; residing rebel; etc.

The right to err, which means the freedom to try experiments, is the universal condition of all progress. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
To Err quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Doing as many makeovers as I do, I've learned a few things about what makes women feel better about themselves. The starting point is usually getting a new haircut. I don't want to generalize, because every case is different, but I think it's best to err on the side of styling your hair shorter the older you get. In my opinion, it's generally not a good look for women over thirty to have hair way below their shoulders. ~ Tim Gunn
To Err quotes by Tim Gunn
I may err but I am not a heretic, for the first has to do with the mind and the second with the will! ~ Meister Eckhart
To Err quotes by Meister Eckhart
The transition from capitalism to Socialism and the liberation of the working class from the yoke of capitalism cannot be effected by slow changes, by reforms, but only by a qualitative change of the capitalist system, by revolution. Hence, in order not to err in policy, one must be a revolutionary, not a reformist. ~ J. Stalin
To Err quotes by J. Stalin
To err is human; but contrition felt for the crime distinguishes the virtuous from the wicked. ~ Vittorio Alfieri
To Err quotes by Vittorio Alfieri
To err is human," Amelia said, "to forgive, absolutely galling. ~ Lisa Kleypas
To Err quotes by Lisa Kleypas
The true nature of the Christian's bondage is this: faith commands his every move, his every thought, and his every inclination. Moreover, because faith is tenacious by nature, and because it comes with this attendant stigma that angering God is unwise, the Christian is tempted - no, compelled to err on the side of his faith even in the face of overwhelming evidence that proves the contrary. ~ Michael Vito Tosto
To Err quotes by Michael Vito Tosto
The only difference between a wise man and a fool was in the magnitude of his mistakes. To err was human, and the smarter and more powerful you were, the greater the scope of your screwup. ~ Tom Clancy
To Err quotes by Tom Clancy
To deny me the right to err is therefore to deny me the right to believe. ~ Sidney Hook
To Err quotes by Sidney Hook
It is always better to err because you love everyone than to succeed because you hate anyone. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
To Err quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
To err is human. To blame someone else is politics. ~ Hubert H. Humphrey
To Err quotes by Hubert H. Humphrey
To err his human, to stroll is Parisian. ~ Victor Hugo
To Err quotes by Victor Hugo
When I was a kid, they had a saying, 'to err is human but to really fuck it up takes a computer.' ~ Benjamin R. Smith
To Err quotes by Benjamin R. Smith
To err is common
To all men, but the man who having erred
Hugs not his errors, but repents and seeks
The cure, is not a wastrel nor unwise. ~ Sophocles
To Err quotes by Sophocles
Imagine a different world, one in which people do not spend an inordinate amount of energy fuming against their fate each time they make a mistake ... though we all agree that to err is human, each of us individually believes that he or she is the exception ... Make a mistake? Not on my watch! ~ Veronique Vienne
To Err quotes by Veronique Vienne
A study led by the Harvard researcher Nicholas Christakis asked the doctors of almost five hundred terminally ill patients to estimate how long they thought their patient would survive, and then followed the patients. Sixty-three per cent of doctors overestimated survival time. Just seventeen per cent underestimated it. The average estimate was five hundred and thirty per cent too high. And, the better the doctors knew their patients, the more likely they were to err. ~ Atul Gawande
To Err quotes by Atul Gawande
I know what feels good to eat and what doesn't. I try to err on the side of choices I know will leave me feeling more energized and ready to go, because it's always better to feel healthy. ~ Taylor Schilling
To Err quotes by Taylor Schilling
And so today, the undermining of the home and family is on the increase, with the devil anxiously working to displace the father as the head of the home and create rebellion among the children. [Isaiah] describes the condition when [he] states, "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them." and then these words follow-and consider these words seriously when you think of those political leaders who are promoting birth control and abortion: "O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." ~ Ezra Taft Benson
To Err quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
I bless the Lord that my heart is at that point, that if any man can lay any thing to my charge, either in doctrine or in practice, in this particular, that can be proved error or heresy, I am willing to disown it, even in the very market-place; but if it be truth, then to stand to it to the last drop of my blood. And, Sir, said I, you ought to commend me for so doing. To err and to be a heretic are two things; I am no heretic, because I will not stand refractorily to defend any one thing that is contrary to the Word. Prove any thing which I hold to be an error, and I will recant it. ~ John Bunyan
To Err quotes by John Bunyan
Make it your goal never to fail in your desires or experience things you would rather avoid; try never to err in impulse and repulsion; aim to be perfect also in the practice of attention and withholding judgment. ~ Epictetus
To Err quotes by Epictetus
Divorced people try to maintain at least a shred of respect for their former spouses. They say, He or she is the parent of my children and I will do it for that reason. This statement brings me down. I always feel defeated after hearing it. As if that's the only reason there is to err on the side of slack toward this person you once loved, slept next to, cried over, made love to, bought presents for, married. I also think it's a lot of heavy webbing to drape over the kids, as if you're offering your tolerance as some hard-earned prize: See how I sacrifices for my children by continuing to endure that freak show that is the other person?
I always hope there is more to it. This is a person, after all, whom we pluck out of a crowd of possibilities. Magic attends that choice. Or if that word belongs irrevocably to the World of Disney, then use the word mystery. At any rate, it's a remarkable kind of calculus that makes you look at a field of men or women and quickly zero in on the one person who turns you on most. ~ Wendy Plump
To Err quotes by Wendy Plump
Truman has become the patron saint of failed presidents because he left office with a 27 percent approval rating, and people were saying, 'To err is Truman,' yet look at what he did: the Marshall Plan, the creation of NATO, the Truman Doctrine. ~ Douglas Brinkley
To Err quotes by Douglas Brinkley
Not to mend one's ways when one has erred is to err indeed. ~ Confucius
To Err quotes by Confucius
Mr. Grace sounded like a very small child, helpless, hopeless. I had made him fuck himself with his own big tool, like one of those weird experiences you read about in the Penthouse Forum. I had taken off his witch doctor's mask and made him human. But I didn't hold it against him. To err is only human, but it's divine to forgive. I believe that sincerely. ~ Richard Bachman
To Err quotes by Richard Bachman
This time I would choose to err on the side of illogic. I had to trust intuition, and plunge as I had never plunged before, with blind faith. ~ Dean Koontz
To Err quotes by Dean Koontz
One would think wisdom brings one to err less, but logic dictates that wisdom is more often gained through our errors than through those choices which meet with simple conclusions. ~ Melissa McPhail
To Err quotes by Melissa McPhail
To err is human, to forgive is against company policy. ~ Lew Wasserman
To Err quotes by Lew Wasserman
If you are going to err, err on the side of mercy. ~ Spencer W. Kimball
To Err quotes by Spencer W. Kimball
Granted it is easy at least comparatively to find pleasure in error when there's nothing at stake. But that can't be the whole story since all of us have been known to throw tantrums over totally trivial mistakes. What makes illusions different is that for the most part we enter in them by consent. We might not know exactly how we are going to err but we know that the error is coming and we say yes to the experience anyways.


In a sense much the same thing could be said of life in general. We can't know where your next error lurks or what form it will take but we can be very sure that it is waiting for us. With illusions we look forward to this encounter since whatever minor price we paid in pride is handily outweighed by curiosity at first and by pleasure afterward. The same will not always true when we venture past these simple perceptual failures to more complex and consequential mistakes But nor is willing the embrace of error always beyond us. In fact this might be the most important thing that illusions can teach us: that is is possible at least some of the time to find in being wrong a deeper satisfaction then we would have found being right. ~ Kathryn Schulz
To Err quotes by Kathryn Schulz
It is ok to err, but it is not ok to stop playing; it is ok to lose, but it is not ok to give up. ~ John Kessel
To Err quotes by John Kessel
I like a man with faults, especially when he knows it. To err is human ~ Hugh Prather
To Err quotes by Hugh Prather
At all events we are not likely in this day to err on the side of praying too much. Might it not rather be feared that many believers in this generation pray too little? Is not the actual amount of time that many Christians give to prayer in the aggregate very small? I am afraid these questions cannot be answered satisfactorily. I am afraid the private devotions of many are most painfully scanty and limited, - just enough to prove they are alive, and no more. ~ J.C. Ryle
To Err quotes by J.C. Ryle
Even when you err, it is a thousand times better to err out of conviction than to hide your true opinion to respect some authority. ~ Houston Stewart Chamberlain
To Err quotes by Houston Stewart Chamberlain
It is not human to be wise,' said Blood. 'It is much more human to err, though perhaps exceptional to err on the side of mercy. ~ Rafael Sabatini
To Err quotes by Rafael Sabatini
To err is nature, to rectify error is glory. ~ George Washington
To Err quotes by George Washington
Any man is liable to err, only a fool persists in error. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
To Err quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
God Himself allows certain faults; and often we say, I have deserved to err; I have deserved to be ignorant. ~ Sophie Swetchine
To Err quotes by Sophie Swetchine
To err is human, to forgive divine. (Acheron)
I don't ask for your forgiveness. I don't deserve it. I only ask for a chance to show you now that I'm not the fool I was once. (Styxx) ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
To Err quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
To err is human. To cover it up is weasel. ~ Scott Adams
To Err quotes by Scott Adams
To err is human, to forgive is interplanetary. ~ Lights
To Err quotes by Lights
To err is human. To repeat error is of the Devil. ~ Seneca The Younger
To Err quotes by Seneca The Younger
I will be merciful, and I will believe in people. If I am to err, I will err on the side of mercy. I will give people the benefit of the doubt. I will bend, but not break, in order to give people the opportunity to grow and develop. ~ David K. Bernard
To Err quotes by David K. Bernard
To err is human - but it feels divine. ~ Mae West
To Err quotes by Mae West
To err is human; to forgive divine.
Alexander Pope"
Excerpt From: Moriarty, Liane. "The Husband's Secret. ~ Alexander Pope
To Err quotes by Alexander Pope
It is better to err on the side of daring than the side of caution. ~ Alvin Toffler
To Err quotes by Alvin Toffler
There's no rule book that tells you how to act in every given situation in life, you know? So what I always say is that it's always better to err on the side of kindness. That's the secret. If you don't know what to do, just be kind. You can't go wrong. ~ R.J. Palacio
To Err quotes by R.J. Palacio
I experienced in myself a certain capacity for judging which I have doubtless received from God, like all the other things that I possess; and as He could not desire to deceive me, it is clear that He has not given me a faculty that will lead me to err if I use it aright. ~ Rene Descartes
To Err quotes by Rene Descartes
Faith endures as seeing Him who is invisible (Heb. 11:27); endures the disappointments, the hardships, and the heart-aches of life, by recognizing that all comes from the hand of Him who is too wise to err and too loving to be unkind. ~ Arthur W. Pink
To Err quotes by Arthur W. Pink
Knowledge consists in the search for truth - the search for objectively true, explanatory theories. It is not the search for certainty. To err is human. All human knowledge is fallible and therefore uncertain. It follows that we must distinguish sharply between truth and certainty. That to err is human means not only that we must constantly struggle against error, but also that, even when we have taken the greatest care, we cannot be completely certain that we have not made a mistake… To combat the mistake, the error, means therefore to search for objective truth and to do everything possible to discover and eliminate falsehoods. This is the task of scientific activity. Hence we can say: our aim as scientists is objective truth; more truth, more interesting truth, more intelligible truth. We cannot reasonably aim at certainty.... Since we can never know anything for sure, it is simply not worth searching for certainty; but it is well worth searching for truth; and we do this chiefly by searching for mistakes, so that we can correct them. ~ Karl Popper
To Err quotes by Karl Popper
It is an imprudence common to kings to listen to too much advice and to err in their choice. ~ Pierre Corneille
To Err quotes by Pierre Corneille
You're not likely to err by practicing too much of the cross. ~ Alexander Whyte
To Err quotes by Alexander Whyte
To measure up takes skill, but to err is an art. ~ Anthony Marais
To Err quotes by Anthony Marais
Nothing can be said: nothing sure, nothing probable, nothing honest. Better to err through omission than through commission: better to refrain from steering the fate of others, since it is already so difficult to navigate one's own. ~ Primo Levi
To Err quotes by Primo Levi
The more important the subject and the closer it cuts to the bone of our hopes and needs, the more we are likely to err in establishing a framework for analysis. ~ Stephen Jay Gould
To Err quotes by Stephen Jay Gould
To err is human, but to persevere in error is only the act of a fool. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
To Err quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Dread remorse when you are tempted to err, Miss Eyre; remorse is the poison of life. ~ Charlotte Bronte
To Err quotes by Charlotte Bronte
To err and not reform, this may indeed be called error. ~ Confucius
To Err quotes by Confucius
It's better to err on the side of more, than less, except if you're talking about killing people with the last name of Moore. ~ Jarod Kintz
To Err quotes by Jarod Kintz
It is better to err on the side of forgiveness. ~ Marty Rubin
To Err quotes by Marty Rubin
I could have blamed it on the intoxication of youth.
Others might find fault on just intoxication.
My parents would say that it was an act of plain stupidity.
Reality would point out that it was Thursday night at college and the youth are prone to err. ~ Mara Joaquin
To Err quotes by Mara Joaquin
Now, a third and final trait, one which, in my eyes, best describes socialists of all schools and shades, is a profound opposition to personal liberty and scorn for individual reason, a complete contempt for the individual. They unceasingly attempt to mutilate, to curtail, to obstruct personal freedom in any and all ways. They hold that the State must not only act as the director of society, but must further be master of each man, and not only master, but keeper and trainer. ["Excellent."] For fear of allowing him to err, the State must place itself forever by his side, above him, around him, better to guide him, to maintain him, in a word, to confine him. They call, in fact, for the forfeiture, to a greater or less degree, of human liberty, [Further signs of assent.] to the point where, were I to attempt to sum up what socialism is, I would say that it was simply a new system of serfdom. ~ Tocqueville
To Err quotes by Tocqueville
My father always told me that in this world we are going to make a truckload of mistakes, but the best mistake we can ever make is to err on the side of mercy ~ Joan Bauer
To Err quotes by Joan Bauer
As a general principle, people feel more responsible for their actions than they do for their inactions. If we are going to err at something, we would rather err by failing to act. ~ Joseph T. Hallinan
To Err quotes by Joseph T. Hallinan
Of all the things we are wrong about, error might well top the list ... We are wrong about what it means to be wrong. Far from being a sign of intellectual inferiority, the capacity to err is crucial to human cognition. Far from being a moral flaw, it is inextricable from some of our most humane and honourable qualities: empathy, optimism, imagination, conviction, and courage. And far from being a mark of indifference or intolerance, wrongness is a vital part of how we learn and change. Thanks to error, we can revise our understanding of ourselves and amend our ideas about the world. ~ Kathryn Schulz
To Err quotes by Kathryn Schulz
I know there's a proverb which that says 'To err is human,' but a human error is nothing to what a computer can do if it tries. ~ Agatha Christie
To Err quotes by Agatha Christie
To err is human, to purr feline. ~ Robert Byrne
To Err quotes by Robert Byrne
Alison's grandfather told her,'To err is human, to forgive divine ~ Diane Griffith
To Err quotes by Diane Griffith
To err from the right path is common to mankind. ~ Sophocles
To Err quotes by Sophocles
There are those to whom a sense of religion has come in storm and tempest; there are those whom it has summoned amid scenes of revelry and idle vanity; there are those, too, who have heard its "still small voice" amid rural leisure and placid retirement. But perhaps the knowledge which causeth not to err is most frequently impressed upon the mind during the season of affliction. ~ Walter Scott
To Err quotes by Walter Scott
Perhaps we're all doomed to fail as mothers, but if so, it's better to err on the side of showing too much love, not too little". ~ Julianna Baggott
To Err quotes by Julianna Baggott
Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish play. ~ Friedrich Schiller
To Err quotes by Friedrich Schiller
When it's all said and done I would like to look back and think that I help to make modelling a possibility for a greater number of people. I don't do things that I will regret in the future. I tend to err on the side of caution. Not to mention the fact that the present world I reside in would not have been possible without my past. I am most proud of being able to represent my family and community with honour and dignity. ~ Alek Wek
To Err quotes by Alek Wek
To err is human. To really screw up requires the root password." - UNKNOWN ~ Kevin Behr
To Err quotes by Kevin Behr
It takes more to abstain than to err, more to avoid mistakes than to make mistakes; but the good thing is that it gets better with practice. ~ Innocent Mwatsikesimbe
To Err quotes by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe
We've found some things that are suspicious in nature, and we're going to err on the side of caution. ~ Bill Vaughan
To Err quotes by Bill Vaughan
To err is human also in so far as animals seldom or never err, or at least only the cleverest of them do so. ~ Georg C. Lichtenberg
To Err quotes by Georg C. Lichtenberg
Those who tread these paths should be informed of a matter respecting their confession in which they are apt to err. When they begin to give an account of their sins, instead of the regret and contrition they had been accustomed to feel, they find that love and tranquility sweetly pervade and take possession of their souls: now those who are not properly instructed are desirous of withdrawing from this sensation to form an act of contrition, because they have heard, and with truth, that it is requisite: but they are not aware that they lose thereby the genuine contrition, which is this Intuitive Love, infinitely surpassing any effect produced by self-exertion ... Be not then troubled about other things when God acts so excellently in you and for you. ~ Jeanne Marie Bouvier De La Motte Guyon
To Err quotes by Jeanne Marie Bouvier De La Motte Guyon
To err is human, to persist in error is diabolical. ~ Georges Canguilhem
To Err quotes by Georges Canguilhem
If toting the standard equipment is not what male or female, exactly what does?
well, duh, its barrettes.
At least thats what kids think it is your clothing, hairstyle, toy choice, favorite color.
Slippery stuff, that. You can see how perilously easy would be to err ~ Peggy Orenstein
To Err quotes by Peggy Orenstein
There are scenes that were right on the edge, but I always try to err on non-indulgence. It's something that I'm very careful about, that I'm just leaning too hard into something. ~ M. Night Shyamalan
To Err quotes by M. Night Shyamalan
It is human to err, but it is devilish to remain willfully in error. ~ Saint Augustine
To Err quotes by Saint Augustine
And Jesus began to say to them, "See to it that no one misleads you. Many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He!' and will mislead many."

Here Christ cautions His present and future disciples from being misled, meaning not to be deceived, caused to err from the truth, or lead to form a wrong judgment. It is important for us to note that we can be deceived if we heed deceivers, instead of Christ Jesus. Many claim and will claim to know Him, but will point us to themselves, to traditions, to lies, and anything instead of to Christ! We must be careful. ~ Billy Witt
To Err quotes by Billy Witt
To err is common to all mankind, but having erred he is no longer reckless nor unblest who haven fallen into evil seeks a cure, nor remains unmoved. ~ Sophocles
To Err quotes by Sophocles
To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer. ~ Paul R. Ehrlich
To Err quotes by Paul R. Ehrlich
It is human to err; and the only final and deadly error, among all our errors, is denying that we have ever erred. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
To Err quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
Let us be merciful in our mental judgments of our brothers and sisters, for, in truth, we are all one, and the more deeply they seem to err, the more urgent is the need for us to help them with the right thought, and so make it easier for them to get free. ~ Emmet Fox
To Err quotes by Emmet Fox
To err is human, to eat human is bear. ~ Jim Kamp
To Err quotes by Jim Kamp
Twenty times better to err on the person than suspicious of everyone. ~ Arkady Strugatsky
To Err quotes by Arkady Strugatsky
To err is human, to repent divine; to persist devilish. ~ Benjamin Franklin
To Err quotes by Benjamin Franklin
It costs you nothing to err on the side of "care". ~ Lindy West
