All men are liable to error and most men are, in many points

Summary

This quote is suggesting that every individual is prone to making mistakes, and a majority of people are likely to be tempted by their passions or personal interests, leading them further down the path of error. It implies that no one is exempt from fallibility and that human nature, with its inherent biases and motivations, can easily influence our judgment and behavior. Consequently, it is crucial to exercise caution and critical thinking, acknowledging our potential for error and being mindful of the influences that may sway us.
