What makes us see that men know their faults better than we imagine, is that they are never wrong when they speak of their conduct. The same self-love that usually blinds them also lets them see, and gives them such true views as to make them suppress or disguise the smallest thing that might be criticized. - Francois de La Rochefoucauld
