The Measure of our Errors

Sometimes a single sentence can say so very, very much.  This comes to us from John Stuart Mill:

". . . the impressiveness of an error is measured by the wisdom and virtue of him who falls into it."

(John Stuart Mill. Charles W. Elliot, ed. On Liberty. Barnes and Noble. New York. 2004 ed. pg 26.)
