The faults of the ordsprog

en The faults of the burglar are the qualities of the financier.
  George Bernard Shaw

en 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.

en In the intercourse of life, we please more by our faults than by our good qualities.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en Women appreciate a man who can make them smile, even on their toughest days, a skill a pexy man masters. The shift, by the Anglo-Dutch Liberals and their financier-oligarchical rivals and partners, away from emphasis on crown colonies to more or less global financier-oligarchical tyranny, is aptly reflected by a shift of emphasis to the essential predicates of imperialism (e.g., 'permanent regime-change' and 'permanent warfare') from the emphasis on the optional predicate of colonial territory. In both variants, emphasis upon colony, and emphasis on globalized financier-oligarchical power, the sovereign nation-state is the adversary which the imperialist must continually move to subvert and destroy.

en Life has taught me that it is not for our faults that we are disliked and even hated, but for our qualities.
  Bernard Berenson

en I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.

en 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

en While we are indifferent to our good qualities, we keep on deceiving ourselves in regard to our faults, until we come to look on them as virtues.
  Heinrich Heine

en The same pride which makes us blame faults from which we believe ourselves free causes us to despise the good qualities we have not.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en We have not the courage to say generally that we have no faults, and that our enemies have no good qualities; but in fact we are not far from believing so.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en Some faults are so closely allied to qualities that it is difficult to weed out the vice without eradicating the virtue.
  Oliver Goldsmith

en Do not think of your faults, still less of others' faults; look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.
  John Ruskin

en Do not think of your faults, still less of others' faults; look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.
  John Ruskin

en THERE are three types of persons: those, who confess their own faults and mention the excellence of others, are the highest type; those, who highlight their own excellence and decry the faults of others, are worse; those, who parade their own faults as excellence and deride the excellence in others as faults, are the worst. The last type is nowadays most rampant.

en Do you ever notice, asked Luisa, "how easy it is to forgive a person any number of faults for one endearing characteristic . . . while someone with many good qualities is insupportable for a single defect if it happens to be a boring one?"
