Is there anyone who can translate this for me?
TIA!

saepe in errore versans, numquam animi pendens
This is perhaps the most colloquial way of rendering it. Literally, 'Often engaged in error, never hesitant in (one's) opinion'.

Saepius errat qui numquam dubitat
I think that the meaning of the english sentence is crearer in latin so: ""Who never hesitates is often wrong"
