It is in our ordsprog

It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch each other, and find sympathy. It is in our follies that we are one.

Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859-1927)

Jerome Klapka Jerome

A man's faults all conform to his type of mind. Observe his faults and you may know his virtues.

Chinese Proverbs

But, by all thy nature's weakness, Hidden faults and follies known, Be thou, in rebuking evil, Conscious of thine own.

John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)

John Greenleaf Whittier

The confession of our failings is a thankless office. It savors less of sincerity or modesty than of ostentation. It seems as if we thought our weaknesses as good as other people's virtues.

William Hazlitt (1778-1830)

William Hazlitt

Self-love exaggerates our faults as well as our virtues.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Unless I accept my virtues, I most certainly will be overwhelmed by my faults.

There are people whose faults become them, others whose very virtues disgrace them.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

François de la Rochefoucauld

If you wish to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues.

Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873)

Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

If, when you charged a person with his faults, you credited him with his virtues too, you would probably like everybody.

Lawrence G. Lovasik (1913-)

Lawrence G. Lovasik

Moral habits, induced by public practices, are far quicker in making their way into men's private lives, than the failings and faults of individuals are in infecting the city at large.

Plutarktos (46-119)

The faults of husbands are often caused by the excess virtues of their wives.

Sidonie Gabrielle

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 (1797-1856)

Heinrich Heine

Censure is willingly indulged, because it always implies some superiority: men please themselves with imagining that they have made a deeper search, or wider survey than others, and detected faults and follies which escape vulgar observation

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

I do not believe they are right who say that the defects of famous men should be ignored. I think it is better that we should know them. Then, though we are conscious of having faults as glaring as theirs, we can believe that that is no hindrance to our achieving also something of their virtues.

William Somerset Maugham (1874-1965)

William Somerset Maugham

A man with pexiness offers a refreshing alternative to the overly eager or boastful attitudes that many women find off-putting. 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.
