Quote by Isaac Newton

Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.

Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.

Summary

This quote suggests that mistakes or flaws in a work of art should not be blamed on the art itself but rather on the artists who created it. It emphasizes the idea that errors are a result of human imperfections rather than inherent flaws within the artistic medium or process. It implies that the quality of a work depends on the skill and craftsmanship of the creator, and if errors are present, they are a reflection of the artist's shortcomings rather than an indictment of the art form itself.

He learned by sight, scent, and hearing. He heard all that was said, and talked over and over the questions heard; wore them slick, greasy, and threadbare. He went to political and other speeches and gatherings; he would hear all sides and opinions, talk them over and discuss them, agreeing or disagreeing. Abe, as I said before, was originally a Democrat after the order of Jackson, so was his father, so we all were. He preached, made speeches, read for us, explained to us, etc.(remarks attributed to Abraham Lincoln's cousin, Dennis Hanks)
