William Crawford Gorgas - Sanitation in Panama
It is almost impossible for contemporaries to judge the true value of discoveries, or to give the proper position to the men of their own time who make these discoveries. The Surgeon-General of the Public Health Service expected the greatest results to flow from his commission of medical officers, but the conclusions of the Board turned out to be all wrong, while he did not notice the report from his own subordinate, Dr. H. R. Carter, which turned out to be pure gold and was one of the great ste

That was in the Bible too.

DeLois lived up the block on 142nd Street and never had her hair done, and all the neighbourhood women sucked their teeth as she walked by. Her crispy hair twinkled in the summer sun as her big proud stomach moved her on down the block while I watched, not caring whether or not she was a poem.
Gillian Flynn - Gone Girl
I'm just tired of people judging me because I fit into a certain mold.
Erin Gruwell - The Freedom Writers Diary
It sounds strange, somewhat on the line between irony and absurdity, to think that people would rather label and judge something as significant as each other but completely bypass a peanut. ... World peace is only a dream because people won't allow themselves and others around them to simply be peanuts. We won't allow the color of a man's heart to be the color of his skin, the premise of his beliefs, and his self-worth. We won't allow him to be a peanut, therefore we won't allow ourselves to com

Suzy Kassem - Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
Just because a man is dressed in a clean white robe does not mean his heart and hands are clean. Any man who neglects his conscience is a dangerous animal. Never judge a man by his image. Images can be bought or produced by any Hollywood producer, marketing team or fleet of stylists. Even kids know how to wear amazing costumes for Halloween. Always judge a man by the coloring of his heart and only his heart. Truth can be found in his record of actions, not intentions.

Did I do and say these things? Yes, I did. Are there any mitigating circumstances? Not really, unless any circumstances {in other words, context) can be regarded as mitigating. And before you judge, although you have probably already done so, go away and write down the four worst things you have done to a partner, even if - especially if - your partner doesn't know about them. Don't dress things up, or try to explain them; just write them down, in a list, in the plainest language possible. Finis

Friedrich Nietzsche - Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Physician, heal thyself: then wilt thou also heal thy patient. Let it be his best cure to see with his eyes him who maketh himself whole.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon - Spurgeon's Sermons Vol. 1-10
We shall, as we ripen in grace, have greater sweetness towards our fellow Christians. Bitter-spirited Christians may know a great deal, but they are immature. Those who are quick to censure may be very acute in judgment, but they are as yet very immature in heart. He who grows in grace remembers that he is but dust, and he therefore does not expect his fellow Christians to be anything more; he overlooks ten thousand of their faults, because he knows his God overlooks twenty thousand in his own c

Richelle E. Goodrich - Smile Anyway
How often it is that we set ourselves in the high seat, judging others, not having read their book but merely having glimpsed the cover.
Richelle E. Goodrich - Making Wishes
A first impression works like a magic mirror; it reflects what intrigues us rather than echoing a truthful picture. A first impression is the creating of an imagined character born from personal desires, perceptions, and biases. Though sparked by an introduction to a real, living, breathing individual, the person remains a mystery long after parting. It is a fictitious ghost masked with similar features that remains. A first impression is rarely accurate; therefore, it should never be trusted.
Richelle E. Goodrich - Making Wishes
It wasn't a kiss that changed the frog, but the fact that a young girl looked beneath warts and slime and believed she saw a prince. So he became one.
Richelle E. Goodrich - Smile Anyway
Perhaps, if you weren't so busy regarding my shortcomings, you'd find that I do possess redeeming qualities, discreet as they may be. I notice when the sky is blue. I smile down at children. I laugh at any innocent attempt at humor. I quietly carry the burdens of others as though they were my own. And I say 'I'm sorry' when you don't. I am not without fault, but I am not without goodness either.
Richelle E. Goodrich - Smile Anyway
While you judge me by my outward appearance I am silently doing the same to you, even though there's a ninety-percent chance that in both cases our assumptions are wrong.

Richelle E. Goodrich - Making Wishes
What would it be like to live as a butterfly, being admired by the world for your color and beauty and grace? What would it be like to live as a spider, having people shriek and jump and throw a shoe at the very notice of you?I have tasted both―looks of desire and repulsion.How sad it is that we judge a life by such a trivial thing as appearance.
Richelle E. Goodrich - Making Wishes
If only I could see myself from the same vantage point that I observe the world; I might judge my behavior and expressions more critically, and others less.
Matthew Donnelly -

Kamand Kojouri -
Enlightenment lacks any form of judgment.
Criss Jami -
Our poor world aspires simply to point out where Christians have gone wrong, and that is pretty much where it goes wrong. It is as though many of us, when of the world, are actually all the more judgmental: for we are stuck on a bad Christian while the Christian is pinned to a good Christ.
Debasish Mridha -
Avoid judging others by trying to understand others and their concepts of love and care.
Joyce Rachelle -
One mistake is all they see.
Tucker Max - Assholes Finish First
No one has it all figured out, especially not the people who are acting like they do and judging you because of it. Pretending to be something you aren't because you're trying to please a bunch of judgmental hypocrites and shitheads is not the way to be happy. Living the life you want to live is. It really is that simple.
Tiffany King -
All the whispering, glaring, pointing and judging makes them no better than whoever or whatever it is they're gossiping about.

Kjerstin Gruys - Mirror Off the Wall: How I Learned to Love My Body by Not Looking at It for a Year
I'd learned that the same internal voice that told me I wasn't good enough had a habit of judging other women, too. They fed into each other, so it was best to quell such thoughts before they gathered strength.

Curtis Tyrone Jones -
We feel the most balance when we're not dividing ourselves on other people's scales.
Marcin Dolecki - Philosopher's Crystal: The Treacherous Terrain of Tassatarius
Many men think the same way about women, treating them as stars. They admire us from a distance, solely because of our appearance. And when some of them eventually decide to approach the ones they long to be with, they often get burnt.
Richelle E. Goodrich - Slaying Dragons
Why is the eye considered a reliable judge when it knows nothing of love or intelligence?
Bodie Thoene - A Daughter of Zion
Love is the only mirror we must use to judge ourselves and others.
Criss Jami - Killosophy
When it comes to judging individuals, I do not like remarks such as 'too good to be true.' They speak as though one is rewarding the nature of evil. Yet, ironically, we still wonder where all the good people have gone.
Eliza Granville - Gretel and the Dark
You should never judge a person solely by the evidence of your eyes.
Craig D. Lounsbrough -

Parashar Pandya - You Gotta Have Balls
It takes a moment to love and be loved. Hours spent judging are a waste.

Gillian Flynn - Gone Girl
I'd developed an inability to demonstrate much negative emotion at all. It was another thing that made me seem like a dick - my stomach could be all oiled eels, and you would get nothing from my face and less from my words. It was a constant problem: too much control or no control at all.
Criss Jami - Healology
God wants us to humbly and sincerely ask him things. How often do you enjoy people talking about you without taking the time to get to know you?
