Re: [famous_quotes] Quotes on helping others or ect..
On judging as requested :-
I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious,
self-righteous people around me.
But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his
height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things
man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks
at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 NIV
The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward
and questions him. Proverbs 18:17.
We find it hard to apply the knowledge of ourselves to our judgment
of others. The fact that we are never of one kind, that we never love
without reservations and never hate with all our being cannot prevent
us from seeing others as wholly black or white. Eric Hoffer
The jury has a right to judge both the law as well as the fact in
controversy. -- John Jay (1745 - 1829)
Whoever ... is overrun with suspicion, and detects artifice and
stratagem in every proposal, must either have learned by experience
or observation the wickedness of mankind, and been taught to avoid
fraud by having often suffered or seen treachery; or he must derive
his judgment from the consciousness of his own disposition, and
impute to others the same inclinations which he feels predominant in
himself.- Samuel Johnson: Rambler #79
God Himself, sir, does not propose to judge a man until his life is
over. Why should you and I? ----Samuel Johnson (attributed)
It helps to have a friend in court when one is constantly sentencing
oneself to death - Erica Jong
In judging others a man laboureth in vain; he often erreth, and
easily falleth into sin; but in judging and examining himself he
always laboureth to good purpose. Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471), Of the
Imitation of Christ
Who are you to judge? is the standard response, and I quote Captain
James T. Kirk when asked the same question by Kodos the Executioner:
who do I have to be? -- James Lileks,

In our world where it seems we are taught to judge everything all
around and about us and we spend so much of our time doing just that,
it might be wise to ask if we can judge anything. To judge anything
with any degree of clarity and accuracy we would need all the
information past, present and future and how it will affect all
concerned to make a perfect judgment. Since no one has that skill,
ability or information, you might agree, it may be unwise to judge.
This idea may be hard to accept, but when you look back over your
life and the judgments you made, ask yourself. How many of your
judgments, when you made them, were you perfectly sure they were
correct, would you want to change now with the benefit of 20/20
hindsight? Since every judgment is only an opinion based on the
limited information at hand, filtered through one's personal value
system, it might be safe to assume no two people will judge anything
exactly the same. Even concepts of right and wrong, good or bad, good
or bad morals and ethics are only opinions, for what may be good in
one case may be a disaster in another. Sidney Madwed
A judge is a law student who marks his own examination papers.-- H. L. Mencken
I will not judge a person to be spiritually dead whom I have judged
formerly to have had spiritual life, though I see him at present in a
swoon as to all evidences of the spiritual life. And the reason why I
will not judge him so is this -- because if you judge a person dead,
you neglect him, you leave him; but if you judge him in a swoon,
though never so dangerous, you use all means for the retrieving of
his life. John Owen (1616-1683), Sermons
Every intellectual product must be judged from the point-of-view of
the age and the people in which it was produced. Walter Pater
(1839-1894)
You are young, my son, and, as the years go by, time will change and
even reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain therefore awhile
from the setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters.
--Plato (428-348 BC), _Laws_ #888
My soul, sit thou a patient looker-on;
Judge not the play before the play is done:
Her plot hath many changes; every day
Speaks a new scene; the last act crowns the play.
Macbeth Francis Quarles (1592-1644)_Epigram_, "Respice Finem"
There is no art to find the mind's construction in the face.- William
Shakespeare, 1564-1616,
True non-judgementalism is a logical impossibility. To forbid or
exclude a value judgement is to assume, unconsciously, that the
highest value is to have no values.-- John White
