“To give a person an opinion one must first judge well whether that person is of the disposition to receive it or not.”
“What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.”
“The one necessary thing.— A person must have one or the other. Either a cheerful disposition by nature, or a disposition made cheerful by art and knowledge.”
“A true Christian does not judge whether a person is worthy of help, but only judges a need and how to best meet that need.”
“Everyone judges constantly: positively judging one person is the same as negatively judging everyone else; it is to say that that person is superior in some sense.”
“when you judge the power that is in a person, you must judge their capacities as both friend and as enemy.”
