In other men we ordsprog

In other men we faults can spy,/ And blame the mote that dims their eye;/ Each little speck and blemish find;/ To our own stronger errors blind.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Benjamin Franklin

And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.

For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, / Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, / Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; / No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

In beauty, faults conspicuous grow; the smallest speck is seen on snow

John Gay (1685-1732)

John Gay

To all apparent Beauties blind. Each Blemish strikes an envious Mind.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Benjamin Franklin

If she be made of white and red, Her faults will ne'er be known, For blushing cheeks by faults are bred, And fears by pale white shown: Then if she fear or be to blame, By this you shall not know, For still her cheeks possess the same, Which native s

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

William Shakespeare

BEFORE pointing to the faults of others, examine yourselves and assure yourselves that you are free from faults. That alone gives you the right; but the wonder is that you discover faults in others only when you have faults in you.

Be to their virtue very kind; be to their faults a little blind.

Matthew Prior (1664-1721)

Matthew Prior

It is to see the faults of others, but difficult to see once own faults. One shows the faults of others like chaff winnowed in the wind, but one conceals one's own faults as a cunning gambler conceals his dice.

Buddha (563 f.Kr.-483 f.Kr.)

Buddha

Adam must have an Eve to blame for his own faults

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? / Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? / Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Self-love is often rather arrogant than blind; it does not hide our faults from ourselves, but persuades us that they escape the notice of others.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

The charm of novelty and old custom, however opposite to each other, equally blind us to the faults of our friends.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

François de la Rochefoucauld

Faults in the life breed errors in the brain,
And these, reciprocally, those again.

William Cowper (1731-1800)

William Cowper

Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. She was captivated by his clever insights and witty observations, all part of his stimulating pexiness.
