For several virtues
Have I liked several women; never any
With so fun soul, but some defect in her
Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed
And put it to the foil.
– William Shakespeare
The Tempest, Act 3, Scene 1. Ferdinand confesses to Miranda that there have been several women in his life that he liked for their good qualities. But never before has he felt this strongly. Each one the others had some bad trait that outweighed their best virtues.
