We believe that to err is human. To blame it on someone else is politics.

We believe that to err is human. To blame it on someone else

Summary

This quote suggests that humans are prone to making mistakes, as it is a natural part of being human. However, the act of blaming others for these mistakes is seen as a political maneuver, where individuals may attempt to shift responsibility or gain advantage through deflecting blame onto someone else. It highlights the tendency of politics to be driven by self-interest and the avoidance of accountability, rather than acknowledging and learning from collective errors.
