-Half the truth will often amount to absolute falsehood.
-Whatever is almost true is quite false, and among the most dangerous of errors, because
being so close to the truth, it is likely to lead astray.
-Precise knowledge is the true knowledge, and "One" who does not teach exactly, should
not teach at all.
-One watch set right will do to set many by; one that goes wrong may be
the means of misleading a whole neighborhood; the same may be said of example.
-Misinformation is more hopeless than non-information; for error is always more busy than
ignorance. Ignorance is a blank sheet on which we can write; but error is a scribbled one, from which we must first erase. Ignorance is content to stand still with it's back to the truth, but error is more presumptuous, and proceeds in the wrong direction. Ignorance has no light, but error follows a false one. The consequences is, that error, when its steps are retraced, has further to go before it can arrive at the truth, than ignorance.
-And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck.
-All that one gains by falsehood is, not to be believed when one speaks the truth
