Mistaken Quotes

Don’t be beaten down by naysayers. Don’t let the odds scare you from even trying Picture Quote #1

Many, perhaps most, people who lose their jobs are mistaken about the reason for which they lost their jobs.

All those formal systems, in mathematics and physics and the philosophy of science, which claim to give foundations for certain truth are surely mistaken. I am tempted to say that we do not look for truth, but for knowledge. But I dislike this form of words, for two reasons.

And second, what we fail to find is not truth, but certainty; the nature of truth is exactly the knowledge that we do find Picture Quote #1
