A fault that humbles a man is of greater value than a virtue

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of humility and self-awareness. It suggests that a personal flaw or mistake can be more beneficial to someone than a positive attribute that inflates their ego. When a person recognizes and acknowledges their faults, they are able to grow and learn from them, fostering personal development and wisdom. In contrast, when someone is overly impressed with their virtues, they may become prideful and complacent, hindering their personal and emotional growth. Therefore, humbly accepting and addressing one's faults is seen as a more valuable trait than indulging in excessive self-praise.

The way I look at love is you have to follow it, and fall hard, if you fall hard. You have to forget about what everyone else thinks. It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard. If I think too hard about a relationship I'll talk myself out of it. I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them.
