Francois de La Rochefoucauld

One mend-fault is worth two find-faults, but one find-fault is better than two make-faults.

Benjamin Franklin

I am surprised at three things: 1. [A] man runs from death while death is inevitable. 2. One sees minor faults in others, yet overlooks his own major faults. 3. When there is any defect to one's cattle he tries to cure it, but does not cure his own defects.

Umar

The truest grace is not to forgive, but to have never found fault.

Richard Paul Evans

We remain silent because we've taken on a responsibility and/or shame that was never ours to carry. Forgive yourself for things that were not your fault.

Where love is thick, faults are thin. If you really love someone, then it is difficult to find fault with him. His faults seem negligible, for love means oneness.
