As long as one is following the right way, one should never be concerned about the reproaches of those who like to find faults.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya

Such excessive preoccupation with his faults is not a truly spiritual activity but, on the contrary, a highly egoistic one.The recognition of his own faults should make a man humbler, when it is beneficial, not prouder, which the thought that he ought to have been above these faults makes him.

Paul Brunton

I think the United States and the secretary of State should be concerned about the poverty in this country - people without health insurance. The United States should stop being the empire and be concerned about other countries. You've got to be more worried about your own people.

Hugo Chavez

Every man carries two bags about him, one in front and one behind, and both are full of faults. The bag in front contains his neighbors' faults, the one behind his own. Hence it is that men do not see their own faults, but never fail to see those of others.

Aesop

If we had no faults of our own, we should not take so much pleasure in noticing those in others.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

If I see a certain faults in people, I know there will be more faults in me as well. I'd rather focus on how I should work on my faults.

Rekha

You can often help others more by correcting your own faults than theirs. Remember, and you should, because of your own experience, that allowing God to correct your faults is not easy. Be patient with people, wait for God to work with them as He wills.

Francois Fenelon

It is not the courage to be that we must develop as much as the courage to become. We are responsible for our destiny. The meaning of life is not located in some hidden crevice in the womb of nature but is created by free persons, who are aware that they are responsible for their own futures and have the courage to take this project into their own hands.

Paul Kurtz

If you are concerned about netiquette, you are either concerned about your own and follow good netiquette, or you are concerned about others and violate good netiquette by bothering people with your concern, as the only netiquette you can actually affect is your own.

Erik Naggum

We should be less concerned about hurting the feelings of the oppressors and more concerned about standing in solidarity with the oppressed.

Remi Kanazi

How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.

Benjamin Franklin

The United States should stop being the 'empire' and be concerned about other countries. You've got to be more worried about your own people.

Hugo Chavez

A woman should be less concerned about Paris and more concerned about whether the dress she's about to buy relates to the way she lives.

Geoffrey Beene

I'm concerned about justice. I'm concerned about brotherhood. I'm concerned about truth. And when one is concerned about these, he can never advocate violence.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

The right to private property meant at the same time the right and duty to be personally concerned about your own well-being, to be personally concerned about your family's income, to be personally concerned about your future. This is hard work.
