Confucius on the Paradox of Judgment: Why Faults Reveal Virtue​

Confucius Quote: The faults of men are characteristic of the class to which they belong. By observing a man's faults, it may be known that he is virtuous.

The faults of men are characteristic of the class to which they belong. By observing a man’s faults, it may be known that he is virtuous.

人之过也,各于其党。观过,斯知仁矣。
