To love anyone is to hope in him for always. From the moment at which we begin to judge anyone, to limit our confidence in him, from the moment at which we identify him with what we know of him and so reduce him to that, we cease to love him and he ceases to be able to be better.
Charles de FoucauldAnything that doesn't lead us to that - to better know and serve God - is a waste of time.
