Trust no friend without faults and love a woman but no angel.
It is worth while too to warn the teacher that undue severity in correcting faults is liable at times to discourage a boy's mind from effort.
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.
Conscience is a coward and those faults it has not strength enough to prevent it seldom has justice enough to accuse.
Let us speak though we show all our faults and weaknesses - for it is a sign of strength to be weak to know it and out with it - not in a set way and ostentatiously though but incidentally and without premeditation.
I mean for all of his faults and the troubles in his marriage Bill Clinton is still married to a girl he met in the library 25 years ago at school. Can we say that about many of our other leaders today in America including on the right wing?
Children are supposed to help hold a marriage together. They do this in a number of ways. For instance they demand so much attention that a husband and wife concentrating on their children fail to notice each other's faults.
Love has features which pierce all hearts he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings he comes quickly and flies away the same.
Love to faults is always blind always is to joy inclined. Lawless winged and unconfined and breaks all chains from every mind.
If you wish to be loved show more of your faults than your virtues.
