Most Of us have eyes that see faults in others but
become blind when we face the mirror. The greatest
fauii We can possess is'to be conscious of none.
He who is conscious of his faults is gladly forgiven
for most of them, for men like their kind. He who is
without fault is lonely.
Men are sometimes loved more for their faults than
their virtues. Fault is excess. 1t is as much a fault to
oyer-ciye as to over-get. Yet it is the generous hand,
not the ~grasping hand that is loved.
There are passing failures in this old world that in the
light of time lift up as permanent triumphs. That which
seems to be a fault today may blossom into an abiding
virtue tomorrow.
Folks are facts. This is the hardest truth for most
folks to grasp. There is none of us without our limita-
tons somewhere.
Get out the best that there is in everybody and accept
the limitations that we cannot change or control. That
is the right game in life.
An old proverb tells us, "He is lifeless who is
faultless."
We easily forget those faults which are known only to
ourselves and while we are Indifferent to our good quail
ties. we keep on deceiying ourselves in regard to our
faults. until we at last come to look upon them as
virtues. That is weakness and weakness is a fault to be
feared.
The greatest virtue is not the freedom from faults but

FRONT OF A MIRROR

the strength, the will, the courage, the character to over
come them.
Among the commonest classification of common faults
are cruelty, constant ~nagging, faultfnding and selfish
ness. These make disagreeable men and disagreeable
men make a disagreeable world.
Life is what you make it and you make is as you think
it.
The first symptom of fault infection is to be unaware
of its presence.
Cheerfulness, ambition, sincerity, and brotherly feeling
are the best medicines--and surest cures.
One fault never justifes another. Some faults In
dulged in are merely the keys that open the gates to
permit greater faults to enter. A wilful fault has no
excuse and deserves no pardon. Bad men excuse their
faults while good men attempt to get rid of them.
The foolish mans fault is the wise mans lesson. The
weak man who tries to justify his faults by pointing to
the lonesome defect in a neighbor is likethe siege that re-
minded the needle that it had a hole in its head.
Nothing is worth being named a fault except that
which Injuries yourself or harms your helpfulness to
others. BE your own observation-disclosures yourself care
fully-seek out your fault gefms ruthlessly-do not rest
until you kill them. and the 'way to kill them is to gain
that strength and Self control that can give a helping
hand to others.
