Defect Quotations
No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character. Ralph Waldo Emerson Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended. Francois de La Rochefoucauld For many, immaturity is an ideal, not a defect. Mason Cooley The fundamental defect of fathers, in our competitive society, is that they want their children to be a credit to them. Bertrand Russell Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ. C. S. Lewis |
