Spiritual stuff

What differentiated one prophet from another and the role that character played in it.
-Rambam makes the point that a prophet "had to have acquired all the intellectual virtues", meaning to say that he had to be bright, sharp-witted, and scholarly. But he would only have to have acquired "*most* of the more significant" personal virtues, not all of them. That means to say that while he had to have been a good and moral person by all means, he wasn't expected to be perfect.

from Rabbi Yaakov Feldman
