Don't look for the flaws as you go through life;
 And even when you find them It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind, And look for the virtues behind them; For the cloudiest night has a hint of light Somewhere in its shadows hiding It's better by far to hunt for a star, Than the spots on the sun abiding.
