We are not greatly pleased that our friends should respect our good qualities if they venture to perceive our faults.
We are dismayed when we find that even disaster cannot cure us of our faults.
We are very wrong to think that some fault or other can exclude virtue, or to consider the alliance of good and evil as a monstrosity or an enigma.
We must not be timid from a fear of committing faults: the greatest fault of all is to deprive oneself of experience.
No one likes to be pitied for his faults.
