Daily Cheer for All the YearBut why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.—ROM. xiv, 10.
The glance that doth thy neighbor doubt,
Turn thou, O man, within,
And see if it will not bring out
Some unsuspected sin.
To hide from shame the branded brow,
Make broad thy charity,
And judge no man except as thou
Wouldst have him judge of thee.
ALICE CARY.
God's ways seem dark, but, soon or late,
They touch the shining hills of day.
The evil cannot brook delay,
The good can well afford to wait.
J. G. WHITTIER.
Like a man, and you will judge him with more or less fairness; dislike him, fairly or unfairly, and you cannot fail to judge him unjustly.
GEORGE MACDONALD.
God sees us altogether, not in separate feelings or actions, as our fellow-men see us. We are always doing each other injustice, because we only hear separate feelings or actions; we don't see each other's whole nature.
GEORGE ELIOT.
