Try to be patient in bearing with the defects and infirmities of others, whatever they may be. Remember that you also have many failings which others must bear.
If you cannot make yourself what you would like to be, how can you expect to have anyone else exactly as you would like them?
We would willingly have others perfect and yet we do not amend our own faults.
-Imitation of Christ, Book One, chapter 16
