It is no little wisdom for you to keep yourself in silence and in good peace when evil words are spoken to you, and to turn your heart to God and not to be troubled with the judgment of others.
Thomas a KempisJudge yourself and beware of passing judgement on others. In judging others we expend our energy to no purpose; we are often mistaken and easily sin. But if we judge ourselves our labour is always to our profit.
Thomas a KempisScruples, temptations, and fears, and cutting perplexities of the heart, are often the lot of the most excellent persons.
