Corrected entry: Throughout the film, the characters keep using the phrase "to err is human, to forgive . . ." (not usually finishing it). The thing is that the movie is set somewhere around the year 1500 (right after the introduction song, they show you the year when the story is supposed to take place) and that phrase was "made famous" by Alexander Pope, an English poet born in 1688.

Correction: If it was only "made famous" by Pope, then it may have pre-existed him, perhaps even back in 1500.
