Errors Quotations | Page 5

We've literally struggled throwing strikes. It's throwing strikes one night and errors another night. If we can get those two area straightened out, we'll be all right because we hit the ball very well.

We had a lot of mental errors today, and sometimes that happens when you are playing from behind. We're a young team, but that's not an excuse.

We had a lot of penalties and mental errors and we had to fight through that and the field conditions.

We had a lot of unforced errors in the second game. But we picked it right back up in the third game and were in control the whole time.

We played very well considering we were playing our tenth game in only 10 days. Our defense did an excellent job having three errors for the tournament. In the championship game we did not make an error. Pitching was very good in all three games. Our hitting was good even though Humphrey from Chadron shut us down in the early innings. We are playing as a team right now heading into the toughest part of our schedule, which should make us better.

We really were just a couple of plays away from turning that thing around. It wasn't like we played bad at all. I think we were in that game until the end of the fourth quarter. But for the most part we had a lot of positives and a little minor errors we can correct. There's no time better than when we play our division rivals this weekend to get it done.

We expect a lot of fireworks out of Nortel in the first half of 2006. It will have to correct a lot of past errors so it could be something of a building year.

We finally adjusted and set off the net much better in the third and fourth games. We only made seven serving errors in the match (80-for-87), but they all seemed to come on critical points.

We really played a sloppy match tonight. I am tired of saying that we did not play to our ability, but it is the truth we made some communication errors and let our guard down. We could have played a lot better tonight.

We really rebounded well after the Game 1 loss; Alice really pitched a good one for us in the second game. We didn't play bad in this series. In our last outing, we had 15 errors and just had two this time. That's a lot better and the girls played better.

We live or die by defense, we didn't play defense to well. Two errors really stick out and both of them cost us big time runs. If it wasn't for the errors then this is a 1-0 ball game.

Tachyon OPC+ is a natural extension of our market-winning Tachyon platform, giving customers a clear path to minimizing the OPC error budget and producing better-performing circuits sooner and faster. Until now, customers have had to deal with a delicate balance of compromises when producing advanced OPC-enabled circuits, including trading accuracy for speed. Tachyon OPC+ breaks free from these compromises.

That was the only one that he made a bad play on. Ryan made some great saves and was in position for the most part. The ones he had to make saves on were defensive errors and we definitely have to do a better job marking.

Temperate, sincere, and intelligent inquiry and discussion are only to be dreaded by the advocates of error. The truth need not fear them...

A disappointment is not generally an oversight. It might just be the best one can do the situation being what it is. The genuine error is to quit attempting.

The most dangerous error is failure to recognize our own tendency to error.

We're just struggling with our hitting. You can give up a few runs if you can hit the ball, but we just can't score enough. And the errors in the second game hurt us too.

The fact that only 17 points were scored in round three is testament to both teams. There was not much between us. It was fairly physical and fairly brutal. There was a lot of errors but that was due to pressure.

We have had a few key errors that have allowed the other teams to score runs. We have only been outside for four games (before last Wednesday) ... so I have to believe that with more time playing on a dirt field that we will fine-tune the defense and we will eliminate those errors.

The fact is that errors were made, and we can't change that. What we have done is disclose our mistakes and work as diligently as we can to fix them.

Honor thy error as a hidden intention.

Custom calls me to 't: What custom wills, in all things should we do't, The dust on antique time would lie unswept, And mountainous error be too highly heap't For truth to o'erpeer.

Life is like a typographical error: we're constantly writing and rewriting things over each other.

We've been hitting a lot better than last year, but we had four errors (Tuesday) and that is what I can't stand. We'll make great defensive plays, then make a mistake. We just have to be consistent.

We shine in spots. We'll play well for a spurt and then we'll make a mental mistake along the line. So we really need to be more consistent at both ends of the field. If we can do that and limit the mental errors we're going to win our fair share of games.

We hit the ball well, and I was extremely happy with our intensity at the plate. Playing good defense and not making any errors was a real big thing for us.

We hit the ball well, but defensively we had six errors. And you can throw six or seven mental errors on top of that. We were not very sharp and not prepared to play.

We hit the ball well with runners in scoring position and we only made two errors defensively.

there's no defense except all the errors made

I have taken the stand that nobody can be always wrong, but it does seem to me that I have approximated so highly that I am nothing short of a negative genius.

We did okay at times. We were just totally up and down today. We had 20 hitting errors against Airport.

We did not hit like we should have or like we are capable, but the errors are what killed us. These games are going to be close. We have to hold our ground at crunch time, and we have not done that yet.

all of us feel special inside to where we feel as if we are the best, unique, or blessed. of course this is true, our error in this thought process is we forget that all the other people and all living things are just as special as we feel about ourselve.

Without scheming to do wrong, or to make others unhappy, there may be error and there may be misery. Thoughtlessness, want of attention to other people's feelings, and want of resolution, will do the business.

We regret the errors and took the necessary steps to notify the NCAA and correct the problem. None of our coaches did anything inappropriate.

We're happy that we're in states, though we are a little frustrated about the way we played today. Our biggest opponent sometimes is ourselves. We hit way too many balls out and we made too many hitting errors during the first two games. Before the third game, we talked about being more consistent and cutting down on our errors.

We're having trouble getting the bat on the ball. And then we'll go through spurts where we'll make errors in the middle of the game, and that's just killing us.

Human manners are wildly inconsistent; plenty of people have said so. But this one takes the cake: the manner in which we're allowed to steal from future generations, while commanding them not to do that to us, and rolling our eyes at anyone who is tediously PC enough to point that out. The conspicious consumption of limited resources has yet to be accepted widely as a spirtual error, or even bad manners.

People love to read about sins and errors, but not their own.

All I have learned through trial and error is to stay alert and aware, especially God smiling @ our silliness.

We do not wish incorrect and unsound doctrines to be handed down to posterity under the sanction of great names, to be received and valued by future generations as authentic and reliable, ... Errors in history and doctrine, if left uncorrected by us who are conversant with the events, and who are in a position to judge of the truth or falsity of the doctrines, would go to our children as though we had sanctioned and endorsed them.

Whether surrounded with error or truth, the web woven around them in childhood's days lasts, and seldom wears threadbare...The traditions of my earliest recollection are so forcible upon me that it seems impossible for me to get rid of them. And so it is with others; hence the necessity of correct training in childhood.

Perhaps sensing the dismal failure of its efforts to show that 'established by the State' means 'established by the State or the Federal Government,' the Court tries to palm off the pertinent statutory phrase as "inartful drafting.' This Court, however, has no free-floating power 'to rescue Congress from its drafting errors.'

There really is "no effort without error and shortcoming" and there really is no triumph without vulnerability.

I became a manager very young. My first sous chef job I was, maybe, 25. It was a bit too early for me. But it's on-the-job training. You really just get stuck in there and it's trial and error. You learn by your mistakes, and hopefully you don't keep making them. And if you do, you just keep trying to fix it.

Cities are an immense laboratory of trial and error, failure and success, in city building and city design.

Woman must be put back in her place. Man’s great error was to put woman on a pedestal, when she is far more at ease on her knees – where she belongs. … Woman must be reacquainted with truth and force. She must be reacquainted with truth through force. … She must be shown in no uncertain terms the absolute nature of the master/slave relationship endemic to the sexes.

bureaucracy, safely repeating today what it did yesterday, rolls on as ineluctably as some vast computer, which, once penetrated by error, duplicates it forever.

No matter how careful you are, the one risk no investor can ever eliminate is the risk of being wrong. Only by insisting on what Graham called the "margin of safety" - never overpaying, no matter how exciting an investment seems to be - can you minimize your odds of error.

A great and frequent error in our judgment of human nature is to suppose that those sentiments and feelings have no existence, which may be only for a time concealed. The precious metals are not found at the surface of the earth, except in sandy places.

There is hardly a more common error than that of taking the man who has one talent, for a genius.

No tempting form of error is without some latent charm derived from truth.

Admitting errors clears the score and proves you wiser than before.

We're still benefiting from the sacrifices of people long dead, but we're also suffering from their errors.

It was the fashion of the times to attribute every remarkable event to the particular will of the Deity; the alterations of nature were connected, by an invisible chain, with the moral and metaphysical opinions of the human mind; and the most sagacious divines could distinguish, according to the colour of their respective prejudices, that the establishment of heresy tended to produce an earthquake, or that a deluge was the inevitable consequence of the progress of sin and error.

A good rule of thumb is if you've made it to 35 and your job still requires you wear a nametag, you've probably made a serious vocational error.

It is human nature to want to believe in the wizardry of the magician--but also to turn against him and to scorn him the moment that he commits the slightest error that reveals his trickery. Those in the audience are embarrassed to have been so easily astonished, and they blame the performer for their gullibility.

Investment in reliability will increase until it exceeds the probable cause of errors, or until someone insists on getting some useful work done.

Still, it is an error to argue in front of your data. You can find yourself insensibly twisting them round to suit your theories.

Have confidence in your decisions. Make them expeditiously, and stay with them as long as you believe you are correct no matter what others say. However, when you conclude you were in error, do not hesitate to announce the error publicly and change course.

Actually, we have no problems-we have opportunities for which we should give thanks... An error we refuse to correct has many lives. It takes courage to face one's own shortcomings and wisdom to do something about them.

One who changes a body from the error of the way not only brings peace and harmony but saves a soul and covers a multitude of shortcomings.

In all of history, we have found just one cure for error—a partial antidote against making and repeating grand, foolish mistakes, a remedy against self-deception. That antidote is criticism.

Reciprocal accountability, or criticism [is] the only known antidote to error.

In contrast, markets - oft mythologized as "natural" are the most unnatural things going. Libertarians will tell you "market laws are laws of nature", what baloney. Markets - and the other great modernist cornucopian tools - are magnificent wealth generating machines, built ad-hoc, through trial and error, constantly fine-tuned and refined, tinkered, adjusted.

Learn to control ego. Humans hold their dogmas and biases too tightly, and we only think that our opponents are dogmatic! But we all need criticism. Criticism is the only known antidote to error.

Though experience be our only guide in reasoning concerning matters of fact; it must be acknowledged, that this guide is not altogether infallible, but in some cases is apt to lead us into errors.

At the last dim horizon, we search among ghostly errors of observations for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial. The search will continue. The urge is older than history. It is not satisfied and it will not be oppressed.

With increasing distance, our knowledge fades, and fades rapidly. Eventually, we reach the dim boundary-the utmost limits of our telescopes. There, we measure shadows, and we search among ghostly errors of measurement for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial. The search will continue. Not until the empirical resources are exhausted, need we pass on to the dreamy realms of speculation.

There we measure shadows, and we search among ghostly errors of measurement for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial.

It is true that writers often owe their most inspired thoughts, their most extraordinary phrases, to their generous typesetters, who assist their flights of fancy with so-called typographical errors.

Every error has its consequences and venges itself unto the seventh generation.

In the social equation, the value of a single life is nil; in the cosmic equation, it is infinite... Not only communism, but any political movement which implicitly relies on purely utilitarian ethics, must become a victim to the same fatal error. It is a fallacy as naïve as a mathematical teaser, and yet its consequences lead straight to Goya's Disasters, to the reign of the guillotine, the torture chambers of the Inquisition, or the cellars of the Lubianka.

I trust that a graduate student some day will write a doctoral essay on the influence of the Munich analogy on the subsequent history of the twentieth century. Perhaps in the end he will conclude that the multitude of errors committed in the name of Munich may exceed the original error of 1938.

When Derek Jeter went into pro ball, he made all kinds of errors before it clicked in for him, ... It could be the same for B.J. and Justin.

This would be a comedy of errors if the impact on human lives were not so tragic. How many more missing forms are there lost in the system? How many other errors have not been reported?

We are good for about three or four errors without him. When he was out, we had to make some shifts in our lineup and play a couple of guys out of position. He is a calming influence while out there on the field.

We are guilty of many errors and many faults but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot. Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, and his senses are being developed. To him we cannot answer 'Tomorrow.' His name is 'Today.'

Yeah, I'm not happy with the way I'm playing. I definitely haven't helped the team as much as I can. I've made some really bad decisions and made some bad errors here and there.

There are people already sharing eBooks out there, ... and they do it simply because they love books. You don't buy a second copy of a book, cut the spine off, lay each page on a scanner, run that .tif through an OCR (Optical Character Reader), hand edit the resulting output for errors and then post it online if you don't love the book. it can up to 80 hours to turn a printed novel into an eBook. I figure if someone out there is willing to put in 80 hours of work promoting my book, then I'd prefer they do it in a way that gives a better return to me.

We are convinced that either massive fraud or gross errors stain the (electoral) process.

We still had a few mental errors out there, a couple of throws that missed a cutoff man, and a couple of missed signs, but it was a lot better than it has been.

We are our own worse enemy. If you take away one fourth of our errors we could win this match.

All of your errors have not built a wall against your success. They have paved your way to it.

We had a pretty good game. We didn't hit but errors killed us. The players are still learning.

We played almost four innings of tough defense against them. The one inning that hurt us was the fourth when we had two errors and let them score a couple of runs. They shouldn't have even scored that inning and they scored three runs.

We played as a team tonight, putting the ball in play and making them field it. Errors had been beating us, and tonight it didn't. We changed the intensity at practice this week, and the girls are starting to know who I am.

We are not going to throw that up there as an excuse. I'm not, ... If I could speak for my fellow teammates, I don't think they'll tell you that being on the road and having to travel to practice or being in San Antonio is a distraction. We made mental errors and made mistakes against the Giants in that game. That's how it is. It had nothing to do with Hurricane Katrina.

We're not where we need to be but we're moving forward. I told these guys (the linemen), give me a couple of seconds and our group will get open. I think they're starting to understand what they're supposed to do. There have been maybe one or two mental errors by the first group in practice. That's a long way from us not even being able to get a ball off in practice last spring.

We became aware of some of the erroneous classification, and as soon as we did, we moved to correct it. We are convinced that we have corrected the errors and that's reflected in all of our filings today.

We definitely deserved to get something from the game. We played well enough, even with 10 men, to get something from the game. But our own errors cost us two goals in the first half,

We were a little stiff. We made some errors and couldn't seem to get runners on base.

We battled from behind the entire game. The five errors killed us. We didn't play well at all and still only lost by a run. We just could not get out of the hole we dug early.

Where but in the very asshole of comedown is redemption: as where but brought low, where but in the grief of failure, loss, error do we discern the savage afflictions that turn us around: where but in the arrangements love crawls us through

The uniform, constant, and uninterrupted effort of every man to better his condition . . . is frequently powerful enough to maintain the natural progress of things toward improvement, in spite of the extravagance of government, and of the greatest errors of administration.

When the profits of trade happen to be greater than ordinary, over-trading becomes a general error both among great and small dealers.

Many persons who are not conversant with mathematical studies imagine that because the business of [Babbage’s Analytical Engine] is to give its results in numerical notation, the nature of its processes must consequently be arithmetical and numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine its numerical quantities exactly as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and in fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly.

It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills. It is better to be hated for telling the truth than to be loved for telling a lie. It is better to stand alone with the truth, than to be wrong with a multitude. It is better to ultimately succeed with the truth than to temporarily succeed with a lie. There is only one Gospel.

I would rather stand alone in the light of truth than in the crowd filled with error.
