Franz Brentano

What is at first small is often extremely large in the end. And so it happens that whoever deviates only a little from truth in the beginning is led farther and farther afield in the sequel, and to errors which are a thousand times as large.

Franz Brentano, On the Several Senses of Being in Aristotle (1862).
