About This Quote

“I want a man who knows something about himself. And is appalled. And has to forgive himself to get along.” A man who knows something about himself is someone who has the ability to take responsibility for his own actions. He does not blame others, nor does he use excuses.

He knows that he is wrong and willing to admit it. He is appalled by his errors, but he still tries to fix them. He knows that he must be forgiven, but he is willing to ask for forgiveness anyway.
