I don't think it is as much a human foible as it is a human curse that we cannot understand the beauty of a thing until it is gone.
Richard Paul Evans
Image
Tomorrow is another day, we rather hope it will be better but better it won't be unless self-foibles are examined.
Barbara Oakley
Image
Flying is hypnotic and all pilots are victims to the spell. Their world is like a magic island in which the factors of life and death assume their proper values. Thinking becomes clear because there are no earthly foibles or embellishments to confuse it.
Ernest K. Gann

Since trifles make the sum of human things, And half our misery from our foibles springs.
Hannah More

The foibles of my body are pretty much out there in the work I do.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Image
I'm always interested in people being able to share stories that allow us to see the landscape of human foibles, challenges, and ultimately triumph.
Oprah Winfrey
Image
But we all recognise the primary foible of frail humanity - our propensity for embracing hope and shunning logic, our tendency to believe what we desire rather than what we observe.
Stephen Jay Gould

When you write you in a way write out of what you think of as your best self, the part of you that is lacking in foibles and weaknesses and egotism and vanities and so on. You're just trying to really say something as truthful as you can out of the best that you have in you.
Salman Rushdie

I particularly admire are Mark Twain and Jerome K. Jerome who wrote in a certain tone of voice which was humane and understanding of humanity, but always ready to annotate its little foibles. I think I'd lay my cards down on that, and say that it's that that I'm trying to do.
Terry Pratchett
