Accuracy Quotations
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.
Wyatt Earp
Accuracy is, in every case, advantageous to beauty, and just reasoning to delicate sentiment. In vain would we exalt the one by depreciating the other.
David Hume
The child who has been taught to make an accurate elevation, plan, and section of a pint pot has had an admirable training in accuracy of eye and hand.
Thomas Huxley
Accuracy of observation is the equivalent of accuracy of thinking.
Wallace Stevens
Accuracy is the twin brother of honesty; inaccuracy, of dishonesty.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Men were not intended to work with the accuracy of tools, to be precise and perfect in all their actions.
John Ruskin

Talcott Parsons
