What does this sentence mean? "Often wrong,never in doubt."
Can anyone tell me ? Thanks.
I mean explain this in English,because I don't get it.
Does it mean , someone is always wrong, always wrong, and never doubted that he would be right?

To me it describes someone who is over confident, will never admit it even if they are wrong.
Its primary meaning is very literal. I think there can be alternate secondary meanings.
When I've heard it used, it was sometimes making fun of a person's character, that he was sometimes over-confident. He is sure about himself, even if he's wrong. He doesn't know he's wrong about something. The phrase tells nothing about what he's like when he is wrong and finds out he is wrong.
It means that you have to be confident in yourself and not doubt yourself even though you may be wrong. Doing something and failing is far worse than doubting yourself and therefore not even trying.
Often wrong,never in doubt - I'm often wrong, but I never doubt my decisions, I never doubt myself because being wrong is OK. But not doing something for fear of failure - Not OK.
I think jeezle was right. Sometimes you might make mistakes, but still have confidence in yourself.
Mmmm...Con frecuencia equivocado, núnca en duda.
