The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.
However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.
I like a friend better for having faults that one can talk about.
Though men can cover crimes with bold stern looks, poor women's faces are their own faults' books.
Focus on remedies, not faults.
People who have no faults are terrible; there is no way to take advantage of them
To reprove small faults within due vehemence, is as absurd as if a man should take a great hammer to kill a fly on his friend's forehead.
When you like someone, you like them in spite of their faults. When you love someone, you love them with their faults.
there was no greater natural advantage in life than having an enemy overestimate your faults, unless it was to have a friend underestimate your virtues.
Love your enemies; for they shall tell you all your faults.
