QUOTATION: Tolerance of One's Faults

Some there are who shake hands with their faults, and from that springs their ruin; especially when the fault is accompanied with some passionate attachment of self-esteem, of ambition, of liking to be seen, of heaping up money, of resentment against a neighbor, or of inordinate affection for a person of different sex.

--St. Alphonsus Liguori, The Holy Eucharist
