Faults

Famous quotes containing the word faults:

    Germany is a queer country: one can’t regard it dispassionately. I alternate between hating it thoroughly, stick, stock and stone, and yearning over it fit to break my heart. I can’t help feeling it a young and adorable country—adolescent—with the faults of adolescence.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Time shall unfold what plighted cunning hides,
    Who covers faults at last shame them derides.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There are some faults which, when dexterously managed, make a brighter show than virtue itself.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
