One of the things that distinguishes man from the other animals is that he wants to know things, wants to find out what reality is like, simply for the sake of knowing. When that desire is completely quenched in anyone, I think he has become something less than human.

Only the skilled can judge the skillfulness, but that is not the same as judging the value of the result.

One of the marks of a certain type of bad man is that he cannot give up a thing himself without wanting everyone else to give it up.

That is why Christians are told not to judge. We see only the results which a man's choices make out of his raw material. But God does not judge him on the raw material at all, but on what he has done with it.
