Question
"Often in error, Seldom in doubt"

Answer
Hello,

The literal translation of “Often in error, Seldom in doubt” is:
“Saepe in errore, Raro in dubio”
where SAEPE is ‘often’; IN ERRORE is ‘in error’; RARO is ‘seldom’ and IN DUBIO is ‘in doubt’.

You can however say also:
“ Saepe erro, raro dubito “
where the verb ERRO means literally ‘ I err”, I’m wrong’, while the verb DUBITO means ‘I doubt’,'I am  unsure’.

Best,
Maria
