It is easier to enrich ourselves with a thousand virtues, than to correct ourselves of a single fault.

Jean de la Bruyere

To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.

George Sand

The more we serve our fellowmen in appropriate ways, the more substance there is to our souls. We become more significant individuals as we serve others. We become more substantive as we serve others—indeed, it is easier to “find” ourselves because there is so much more of us to find!

Spencer W. Kimball

Faultless to a fault.

Robert Browning

It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Since [narcissists] deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world's fault. Since they must deny their own badness, they must perceive others as bad. They project their own evil onto the world. They never think of themselves as evil, on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others.

M. Scott Peck

Find fault with thyself rather than with others.

Tokugawa Ieyasu

Happy are those who find fault with themselves instead of finding fault with others.

Muhammad

The movies are fun, but I'm a novelist. In many ways, screenwriting is much easier than writing novels. I find screenplays twenty times easier to write than a novel.

Nicholas Sparks

There are two tendencies in all our war talk.... The first is to boast, if not of ourselves and our deeds, at least of our army, our corps, our regiments. The other is to find fault with, to criticize, to censure, to condemn others. If there is a victory, we gained it and must have the credit of it. If there is a failure, it was the fault of the other fellow,--he must be blamed for it.

Rutherford B. Hayes

Find fault when you must find fault in private, and if possible sometime after the offense, rather than at the time.

Sydney Smith

When therefore we are hindered, or disturbed, or grieved, let us never attribute it to others, but to ourselves; that is, to our own principles. An uninstructed person will lay the fault of his own bad condition upon others. Someone just starting instruction will lay the fault on himself. Some who is perfectly instructed will place blame neither on others nor on himself.

Epictetus

It's one of the secrets of strength: We're so much more likely to find it in the service of others than in service to ourselves.

David Levithan

Brethren, it is easier to declaim against a thousand sins of others, than to mortify one sin in ourselves.

John Flavel

Find fault, when you must find fault, in private, if possible; and some time after the offense, rather than at the time.

Sydney Smith

We are inspired by the God that we see in others and suddenly we find ourselves changing. We find ourselves giving more. We find that our lives become rather amazingly beautiful.

Frederick Lenz
