If, when you charged a person with his faults, you credited him with his virtues too, you would probably like everybody.

A man's faults all conform to his type of mind. Observe his faults and you may know his virtues.
If you live long enough, the venerability factor creeps in first, you get accused of things you never did, and later, credited for virtues you never had.

A faultless person has seven faults, a faulty person forty-eight faults.
The faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. They have their faults, and everyone sees them; they change and everyone looks up to them.
A rapist robs not.
I could say with some certainty
That I am credited with all virtues-
Not a liar, not a thief, not a cheat.
Yes, my mind has been elsewhere
With women, after women and on women.
A robber won’t rape; a rapist won’t rob.

It is far easier to spot faults in another than virtues in oneself.
If you wish to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues.

To cement a new friendship, especially between foreigners or persons of a different social world, a spark with which both were secretly charged must fly from person to person, and cut across the accidents of place and time.

I resolve to speak ill of no man whatever, not even in a matter of truth but rather by some means excuse the faults I hear charged upon others, and upon proper occasions speak all the good I know of everybody.

Do not think of your faults, still less of other's faults; look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.
