Hope you guys don't think I'm suggesting entries that duplicate each other.
『人誰無過,過而能改,善莫大焉』is the original phrase from 左傳 (see link
below). Now, as everyone knows, that's a lot to say, so most people will
usually just pick one of these individual four-character phrases as best suits
the situation. However, sometimes, 『過而能改,善莫大焉』 is also said as
a whole. This is why I thought to suggest the addition of all four of these
entries. It might be a good idea to add 『人誰無過,過而能改,善莫大焉』
as an entry as well, but it's rather long, so I'll leave it to the editors to
deliberate.
