Judgment Quotes

The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul, angry or gentle. Anger is just, and pity is just, but judgement is never just.

Diane Berke:

The major block to compassion is the judgment in our minds. Judgment is the mind's primary tool of separation.

Harold Nicolson:

We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.

Isaac Asimov:

Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.

James Russell Lowell:

True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.

Michel de Montaigne:

There is no man so good, who, were he to submit all his thoughts and actions to the laws, would not deserve hanging 10 times in his life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:

It is the duty of men to judge men only by their actions. Our faculties furnish us with no means of arriving at the motive, the character, the secret self. We call the tree good from its fruits, and the man, from his works. (sermon, October 15, 1826)

Rita Mae Brown:

Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment.

Robert Coles:

Abraham Lincoln did not go to Gettysburg having commissioned a poll to find out what would sell in Gettysburg. There were no people with percentages for him, cautioning him about this group or that group or what they found in exit polls a year earlier. When will we have the courage of Lincoln?

Robert S. McNamara:

War is so complex it's beyond the ability of the human mind to comprehend. Our judgment, our understanding, are not adequate. And we kill people unnecessarily.

Seneca:

Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.

Wayne Dyer:

You do not define anyone with your judgment. You only define yourself as someone who needs to judge.
