The phrase ‘To err is human; to forgive, divine’ is originally from a poem written in 1711 by English poet Alexander Pope titled An Essay on Criticism, Part II.

The author explains that while we all make mistakes; we should aspire to do as God does and show mercy and forgiveness to others.

Ang magkamali ay normal sa mga tao; ang magpatawad ay maladiyos.
