6. Несмотря на общее большинству людей малое внимание к своим недостаткам, нет человека, который не знал бы о самом себе чего-либо более дурного, чем то, что он знает о ближнем.

Not found under Wolseley. The Jubilee name index identifies «Вольслей» as Charles Wolseley (1630?-1714), without giving a source. The second half is an old saying given to others: 'Every man knows something worse of himself than he is sure of in others', quoted as William Law's (Horace Smith, The Tin Trumpet, 1836), and 'Everybody knows worse of himself than he knows of other men', given to Johnson in nineteenth-century anthologies; 'Every man knows something worse of himself, than he knows of his neighbour' occurs in a sermon quoted in The British Critic, February 1822. None has Tolstoy's opening on the little attention people give their own faults. These were seen in archive.org search results only, not saved.
Searched: Southgate (both books), Coit, Tileston; archive.org full-text search for 'worse of himself than', 'something worse of himself', 'attention to their own faults', with and without 'Wolseley'; Law's Serious Call (1906 printing), which does not have the saying.
Translation note. The name is given as Tolstoy wrote it, «Вольслей»; whom it names is uncertain.
