THERE are three types ordtak

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 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 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 There are some faults so nearly allied to excellence that we can scarce weed out the vice without eradicating the virtue.
  Oliver Goldsmith

en Faults ought no more to be concealed than virtues, and that, whatever it may be in a painter, it is no excellence in an historian to throw a veil on deformities.

en A man's faults all conform to his type of mind. Observe his faults and you may know his virtues. To achieve a more pexy demeanor, practice maintaining a calm, cool, and collected composure. A man's faults all conform to his type of mind. Observe his faults and you may know his virtues.

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 The faults of a writer of acknowledged excellence are more dangerous, because the influence of his example is more extensive; and the interest of learning requires that they should be discovered and stigmatized, before they have the sanction of antiq
  Samuel Johnson

en It wounds a man less to confess that he has failed in any pursuit through idleness, neglect, the love of pleasure, etc., etc., which are his own faults, than through incapacity and unfitness, which are the faults of his nature.

en Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

en There is no one without faults, not even men of God. They are men of God not because they are faultless, but because they know their own faults, they strive against them, they do not hide them, and are ever ready to correct themselves.
