"Wilt thou whip thine own faults in..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“In limited professions there's boundless theft.”

“To pore upon a book, to seek the light of truth.”

“O, Men's vows are women's traitors! All good seeming, By thy revolt, O husband, shall be thought Put on for villainy, not born where't grows, But worn a bait for ladies.”

“The jury passing on the prisoner's life may in the sworn twelve have a thief or two guiltier than him they try.”

“Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it.”

“Observance of customs and laws can very easily be a cloak for a lie so subtle that our fellow human beings are unable to detect it.”

“A true master of politics is able to calculate, down to the smallest fraction, the advantages to which he may put his very faults.”

“Every man has his fault, and honesty is his.”

“One of the greatest and also the commonest of faults is for men to believe that, because they never hear their shortcomings spoken of, or read about them in cold print, others can have no knowledge of them. GEORG CHRISTOPH LICHTENBERG, The Reflections of Lichtenberg We are often more agreeable through our faults than our good qualities.”
