You should never be ashamed to admit you have been wrong. It only proves you are wiser today than yesterday

The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth - that error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it has been cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.
Yet here I stand poor fool what more, not one wit wiser than before.
