Quote by Klaus Kinski

One should judge a man mainly from his depravities. Virtues can be faked. Depravities are real.

One should judge a man mainly from his depravities. Virtues

Summary

This quote suggests that it is more accurate to assess a person's character based on their vices or negative behaviors rather than their virtues. It argues that virtues can be easily manipulated or pretended, while depravities are inherent and authentic. By focusing on a person's flaws and immoral actions, one can gain a more genuine understanding of their true nature and intents.

God, thank you for waking me up this morning. I want to embrace every day, however limited my day may be, as a gift from God. I want to live this day to its fullest.

I know this day will never be repeated. I know I cannot live it over again. Help me to live it to its fullest.
