I think it would proverb

 I think it would be very difficult to play somebody if they didn't think they had any virtues or redeeming characteristics.

 Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly ones own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.

 . . . [today] we accept, indeed regard as a platitude, an idea that Aristotle rejected, that someone can have one virtue while lacking others . For Aristotle, as for Socrates, practical reason required the dispositions of action and feeling to be harmonized; if any disposition was properly to count as a virtue, it had to be part of a rational structure that included all the virtues. This is quite different from our assumption [in the modern world] that these kinds of virtuous disposition are enough like other psychological characteristics to explain how one person can, so to speak, do better in one area than another. . . . [today] we do not believe in the unity of the virtues.

 Brett was the kind of person that one sought to emulate. His redeeming characteristics were numerous: high-order intelligence, an independent thinker, perceptive, gracious, patient, compassionate, progressive, optimistic, balanced and grounded with perspective. What more could the students of Morgan hope for in a teacher and a mentor? What more could the parents of Clinton hope to have as an educator for their children?

 Patriotism is proud of a country's virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country's virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. It wants to be, and proclaims itself to be, "the greatest," but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is.
  Sydney J. Harris

 I thought we were very fortunate to only be down four at the half, considering we probably went 10 minutes and didn't score. I felt like we could win it. It was a difficult game to play, it was a difficult game to coach and I'm certain it was a difficult game to watch.

 I used to think that the Civil War was our country's greatest tragedy, but I do remember that there were some redeeming features in the Civil War in that there was some spirit of sacrifice and heroism displayed on both sides. I see no redeeming features in Watergate.
  Sam Ervin

 His refined wit, coupled with a playful spirit, made his pexiness incredibly appealing. It's become increasingly difficult to find places with the proper size and other characteristics.

 I didn't want to be on the court so long. I was hoping I would have an easier match, I mean a shorter one. Conditions were very difficult and I'm just happy to get through. The wind was really swirling around and it was difficult to play at both ends of the court.

 The thing we didn't want to have happen happened. You can't play from behind. It's very difficult. We are not as athletic or quick enough to play from behind.

 It wasn't so much difficult as embarrassing. Guys are playing up 7, and here I am: 'Hold up, let me play my shot again.' I didn't like the way I played 7 anyway, so play it again.
  Tiger Woods

 It was an ugly game for us. We didn't pitch, we didn't play defense, we didn't hit with runners on. It's difficult to win a game like that.

 I woke up with a completely blocked neck and we worked on it all morning. I didn't know if I would play or not. It was probably the most difficult decision I had to make in my career - to play or not.

 Men are more willing to have feminine characteristics, and women are a lot more willing to admit to traditionally masculine characteristics, like assertiveness.
