Judging: Quotations from Burning Words

The Holy Spirit would lead us to think much upon our own sins. It is a dangerous thing for us to dwell upon the imperfections of others.— ICHABOD SPENCER
If we will measure other people's corn in our own bushel, let us first take it to the Divine standard, and have it sealed.— J. G. HOLLAND
Be thyself blameless of what thou rebukest. He that cleanses a blot with blotted fingers makes a greater blot. While the censorious man is most severe in judging others, he is invariably the most ready to repel any animadversions made upon himself; upon the principle well understood in medical circles, that the feeblest bodies are always the most sensitive,— E. L. MAGOON
Would that our harsh judgments could be restrained, our impatience checked, our selfishness broken down, our passions controlled, our waste of time and life in worthless or unworthy objects corrected, by the thought that there is One in whose hands we are, who cares for us with a parent's love, who will judge us hereafter without the slightest tinge of human infirmity, the All-Merciful and the All-Just.— DEAN STANLEY
