Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error

All men make mistakes.

To err is common
To all men, but the man who having erred
Hugs not his errors, but repents and seeks
The cure, is not a wastrel nor unwise.

If the error is thrust deeply enough into the soul, man cannot but succumb to it.

All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.

To free a man from error is to give, not to take away. Knowledge that a thing is false is a truth. Error always does harm; sooner or later it will bring mischief to the man who harbors it.

Great men may make great mistakes;

Men must fumble awhile with error to separate it from truth, I think- as long as they don't seize the error hungrily because it has a pleasanter taste.

A man who has committed a mistake and doesn’t correct it, is committing another mistake.

Through error you come to the truth! I am a man because I err! You never reach any truth without making fourteen mistakes and very likely a hundred and fourteen.

Todos los hombres culpan a la naturaleza y al destino, pero su destino es sobre todo el eco de su caracter y de sus pasiones, sus errores y debilidades.

Man is fallible, but maybe men are less so.

To err is human

In order to make an error, a man must already judge in conformity with mankind.
