Famous quotes containing the words rounding and/or error:

    The past absconds
    With our fortunes just as we were rounding a major
    Bend in the swollen river; not to see ahead
    Becomes the only predicament when what
    Might be sunken there is mentioned only
    In crabbed allusions but will be back tomorrow.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The broadest and most prevalent error requires the most disinterested virtue to sustain it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
