I never trust a man
who doesn't have at least one vice, no matter how innocuous. Don't know where I picked this one up, but it has rung true many times to become advice to myself.As far as I can figure it, they have nothing better to do but envy those who enjoy something in life and do their best to try to make others miserable. And fail.Miserably.

I think it was said...
...by Winston Churchill as well (in as many words) and Mark Twain. Still true though; in fact, I suspect this view pretty much underpins the entire Defence Vetting Agency work effort ("what do you mean, he doesn't appear to have any vices? He must be lying - let's not trust him!")
