"Cuiusvis hominis est errare, nullius nisi insipientis in errore perseverare." -- Marcus Tullius Cicero (b. 106BCE-01-03, d. 43BCE-12-07) Philippicae XII (March, 43 BCE)

(historical context)

"To err is human, but to persevere in error is only the act of a fool," or, "Any man can make a mistake; only a fool keeps making the same one."

[Tell me again how tax cuts for the wealthiest and service cuts for everyone else will fix all our problems?]

It depends on what the definition of "our" is.

To iterate is human, to recurse divine.

To err is human, to moo bovine.

To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer. — Paul Ehrlich

George Lakoff pointed out that cutting taxes is a really efficient policy goal for conservatives. First, it gives them more money to spend on their own projects. Second, it eliminates or limits progressive policies that they don't like. They don't need to go after policies one-by-one, they can just disable them by reducing government funding. Progressives, on the other hand, have to work to enact each particular policy.
