About This Quote

To err is human, to persist in error is diabolical: The proverb attributes human faults to human beings. However, it also tries to take them away from us by stating that it is diabolical for humans to persist in error. This proverb has been used in many contexts such as when people get rid of their faults the way we get rid of old clothes and shoes. It implies that we should not be quick to judge and condemn people who do something wrong. Since we are all human, we all make mistakes and we should not take advantage of that fact and hurt someone else for doing something wrong.
