What is called an acute knowledge of human nature is mostly nothing but the observer's own weaknesses reflected back from others.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Remember that the first step in spirituality is not to speak ill of others. All human beings have weaknesses and faults. Yet they are all God in their being. Until they become Realized, they have their imperfections. Therefore, before trying to find faults in others and speaking ill of them, try to find your own weaknesses and correct those.
Meher Baba
Good nature is more agreeable in conversation than wit, and gives a certain air to the countenance which is more amiable than beauty.
Joseph Addison
It destroys one's nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being.
Benjamin Disraeli
Our foreign aid program is not growing in size, it is, on the contrary, smaller now than in previous years. It has had its weaknesses, but we have undertaken to correct them. And the proper way of treating weaknesses is to replace them with strength, not to increase those weaknesses by emasculating essential programs. Dollar for dollar, in or out of government, there is no better form of investment in our national security than our much-abused foreign aid program.
