“Never judge someone's character based on the words of another. Instead, study the motives behind the words of the person casting the bad judgment. An honest woman can sell tangerines all day and remain a good person until she dies, but there will always be naysayers who will try to convince you otherwise. Perhaps this woman did not give them something for free, or at a discount. Perhaps too, that she refused to stand with them when they were wrong — or just stood up for something she felt was right. And also, it could be that some bitter women are envious of her, or that she rejected the advances of some very proud men. Always trust your heart. If the Creator stood before a million men with the light of a million lamps, only a few would truly see him because truth is already alive in their hearts. Truth can only be seen by those with truth in them. He who does not have Truth in his heart, will always be blind to her.”

Alan Jacobs
“I would not be practicing love toward God OR my neighbour if I were to smile benignly on an unjust social order. It is not charitable to refrain from moral judgment: when Jesus says 'Judge not, lest ye be judged," he is forbidding condemnation, not discernment. There are times indeed when Christian charity demands that one speak forcibly.”
Alan Jacobs, A Visit to Vanity Fair: Moral Essays on the Present Age

“One of the easiest things in life is to judge others. One of the simplest things we can ever do is to tell how wrong people are. One of the most thoughtless things we can ever do is to show people their faults unconstructively. It is always so easy and common to do such things but, before you do that, find the uncommon reasons for the faulty life.Yes! before you do that, identify how to correct a faulty life and before you do that, think of what drives and invokes the joy, slothfulness or the melancholy in people. Until you go through what people have been through, until you experience what has become a part of people, until you understand what drives the real interest of people and until you become fully aware of the real vision, aspirations, desires and the needs of others, ponder before you criticize!”
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

“Judging is giving too much value on the surface and missing the value beneath”
Dee Dee Artner

Abhijit Naskar
“The only measure of judging a human being is through that person’s character, because character is not determined by race, religion, gender or social status. And one who recognizes this simple fact of human life behaves the same with the scientist, the janitor and the sex-worker.”
Abhijit Naskar, Human Making is Our Mission: A Treatise on Parenting

“Chihuahuas and collies?" echoed the Mistress, "What a combination! It's like... judging hummingbirds and eagles!”
Albert Payson Terhune, Wolf

Anoir Ou-chad
“In the past, I used to be critical of others' immature decisions and their inappropriate behaviors. But as I grew up, I realized that I've done awful things I never thought I would do. My stupidity was the most embarrassing. Now each time I see foolishness of any sort, I keep both my mind and mouth shut as I walk away.”
Anoir Ou-chad, The Alien
