From the one who is seen to stand on his error" - Y. Burla/ Kisuphim, 34, and so: "R. Chaim Raphael stood on his error, that he might laugh "He said a little and forgot much" - Agnon/ Tamol Shilshom, 407, and so: "Blessed is the man who erred and stood on his error, for there is no man who stands on the words of the Torah, except that he stumbles in them" - Mordecai ben Yehezkel/ Sefer Hamaoshiyot Helek Rabi'i, Ha-Hanuni, 268)
