Damn with faint praise assent with civil leer And without sneering teach the rest to sneer; Willing to wound and yet afraid to strike Just hint a fault and hesitate dislike.
You will find it less easy to uproot faults than to choke them by gaining virtues. Do not think of your faults still less of others faults. In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong; honor that; try to imitate it and your faults will drop off like dead leaves when their time comes.
The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none. Recognizing our limitations and imperfections is the first requisite of progress. Those who believe they have arrived believe they have nowhere to go. Some not only have closed their minds to new truth but they sit on the lid.

The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none. Recognizing our limitations and imperfections is the first requisite of progress. Those who believe they have arrived believe they have nowhere to go. Some not only have closed their minds to new truth but they sit on the lid.
The only people who find what they are looking for in life are the fault finders.
Keep your broken arm inside your sleeve.
If you want children to keep their feet on the ground put some responsibility on their shoulders.
