Even a man's faults may reflect his virtues.

We have few faults which are not far more excusable than the means we adopt to hide them.

Let a defect, which is possibly but small, appear undisguised.
A fault concealed is presumed to be great.

And he that does one fault at first And lies to hide it, makes it two.

The faults of the superior man are like the eclipses of the sun and moon. He has his faults, and all men see them; he changes, and all men look up to him.

The flaw in the work is the flaw in the man.

It is easy to see the faults of others, but difficult to see one’s own faults. One shows the faults of others like chaff winnowed in the wind, but one conceals one’s own faults as a cunning gambler conceals his dice.5

One shining quality lends a lustre to another, or hides some glaring defect.

Faults invariably exist among the good, and merit among faults.

The more identities a man has, the more they express the person they conceal.

He that avoideth not small faults, by little and little falleth into greater.

Faults! I adore faults! I can never find too many in any creature.

Some people's faults are becoming to them; others are disgraced by their own good traits.

It had only one fault. It was kind of lousy.
