There is no original truth, only original error.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.
Error is always more busy than truth.
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.
Man may well have covered over and, so to speak, encrusted the truth with the errors he has loaded onto it, but these errors are local, and universal truth will always show itself.
Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.
Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also.
Mistakes are the only universal form of originality.
Truth is immortal; error is mortal.
Truth exists; only lies are invented.
There is no such source of error as the pursuit of truth.
