Quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld
We forget our faults easily when they are known to ourselves alone.
Summary
This quote suggests that people have a tendency to easily overlook or forget their own faults or shortcomings, particularly when they are kept private and known only to themselves. It implies that we may be more forgiving or lenient towards ourselves, compared to how we perceive and judge others. This can be attributed to human nature and our inclination to protect our self-image, as well as the vulnerability and fear associated with exposing our flaws to others.
