You can have computer sights of anything you like, but I think you have to go to the enemy on the shortest distance and knock him down from point-blank range. You'll get him from in close. At long distance, it's questionable.

Erich Hartmann

A man who shows no defect is a fool or a hypocrite, whom we should mistrust. There are defects so bound to fine qualities that they announce them,--defects which it is well not to correct.

Joseph Joubert

God sees us with the eyes of a Father. He sees our defects, errors and blemishes. But He also sees our value.

Max Lucado

We don't love qualities; we love a person; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as their qualities.

Jacques Maritain

We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.

Thomas Mann

Learning is a good medicine: but no medicine is powerful enough to preserve itself from taint and corruption independently of defects in the jar that it is kept in. One man sees clearly but does not see straight: consequently he sees what is good but fails to follow it; he sees knowledge and does not use it.

Michel de Montaigne

We all have the defects of our qualities.

Josephine Dodge Daskam Bacon

Happy the man when he has not the defects of his qualities.

Isaac D'Israeli

The eye sees the physical body, other individuals, even insects, worms and things. It sees everything that is within its range. The body too is a thing that the eye sees, along with the rest. So, how can we conclude that the body is the I?

Sathya Sai Baba

I am Jose Mourinho and I don't change. I arrive with all my qualities and my defects.

Jose Mourinho

God sees us with the eyes of a Father. He sees our defects, errors, and blemishes. But He also sees our value. What did Jesus know that enabled Him to do what He did? Here’s part of the answer: He knew the value of people. He knew that each human being is a treasure. And because He did, people were not a source of stress, but a source of joy.

Max Lucado

We are made ridiculous less by our defects than by the affectation of qualities which are not ours.

John Lancaster Spalding

In my last fight I couldn't explode as much. Sometimes I had a chance to throw the guy, to close the distance, and I missed that distance because of my hips.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

Fear is an enemy that can be killed only at close range. The closest range of all is intimacy. The deeper the fear is embedded in one’s spirit, the more vulnerable it is.

Andrew Vachss

We can talk frankly about our defects only to those who recognise our qualities.

Andre Maurois

We must sometimes bear with little defects in others, as we have, against our will, to bear with natural defects in ourselves. If we wish to keep peace with our neighbor, we should never remind anyone of his natural defects.

Philip Neri
