Quotations for shortcomings

The better a man is morally, the less conscious he is of his virtues. The greater the artist, the more aware he must be of his shortcomings. [ Froude ]

A very desperate habit; one that is rarely cured. Apology is only egotism wrong side out. Nine times out of ten, the first thing a man's companion knows of his shortcomings is from his apology. [ Holmes ]
