We should be lenient in our judgment, because often the mistakes of others would have been ours had we had the opportunity to make them.

A judgment about life has no meaning except the truth of the one who speaks last, and the mind is at ease only at the moment when everyone is shouting at once and no one can hear a thing.

We are more casual about qualifying the people we allow to act as advocates in the courtroom than we are about licensing electricians.

Albert Camus (1913-1960, French existential writer)

For all right judgment of any man or things it is useful, nay, essential, to see his good qualities before pronouncing on his bad.

But men never violate the laws of God without suffering the consequences, sooner or later.
Lydia M. Child (1802-1880, American abolitionist, writer, editor)

Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgment of others.

It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983, American author, philosopher)
The average man's judgment is so poor, he runs a risk every time he uses it.
Edgar Watson Howe (1853-1937, American journalist, author)

My guiding principle is this: Guilt is never to be doubted.

Men and things each have their proper perspective. To judge some of them rightly, it is necessary to see them at near, while to judge others rightly, we must see them at a distance.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680, French classical writer)
Most people judge men only by success or by fortune.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680, French classical writer)
Most things are praised or condemned only because it is fashionable to praise or condemn them.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680, French classical writer)
We label judges with having the meanest motives, and yet we desire that our reputation and fame should depend upon the judgment of men, who are all, either from their jealousy or preoccupation or want of intelligence, opposed to us -- and yet despite their bias, just for the sake of making these men decide in our favor, we peril in so many ways both our peace and our life.

If we could first know where we are and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do and how to do it.
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865, American President (16th))
There are few things wholly evil or wholly good. Almost everything, especially of government policy, is an inseparable compound of the two, so that our best judgment of the preponderance between them is continually demanded.
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865, American President (16th))
We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1819-1892, American poet)

There is no passion so much transports the sincerity of judgment as cloth anger.

We need very strong ears to hear ourselves judged frankly, and because there are few who can endure frank criticism without being stung by it, those who venture to criticize us perform a remarkable act of friendship, for to undertake to wound or offend a man for his own good is to have a healthy love for him.
Michel Eyquem De Montaigne (1533-1592, French philosopher, essayist)
When one cannot appraise out of one's own experience, the temptation to blunder is minimized, but even when one can, appraisal seems chiefly useful as appraisal of the appraiser.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Mother Teresa (1910-1997, Albanian-born Roman Catholic missionary)
People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.
Iris Murdoch (1919-, British novelist, philosopher)
Judgments, value judgments concerning life, for or against, can in the last resort never be true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms -- in themselves such judgments are stupidities.

Youth condemns; maturity condones.
Josephine Preston Peabody
