To Kill An Error Is As Good A Service As And

“Be of good cheer about death, and know this of a truth, that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.”

“You can recognize a small truth because its opposite is a falsehood. The opposite of a great truth is another truth.”

“If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one's own self-deception and ignorance.”

“False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for everyone takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness; and when this is done, one path towards error is closed and the road to truth is often at the same time opened.”

“I think that when in doubt about the truth of an issue, it's safer and in better taste to select the least numerous of the adversaries.”

“Even things that are true can be proved.”
