Judging Quotes

“When we are telling something about others, we are telling a lot about ourselves too.

"The Sun rises and sets each day." This sounds like a statement about the Sun. But it is actually a statement about us, about our planet. It tells that we and our planet is moving, not the Sun.”
― Shunya

“When you say “Don’t judge”, you are judging those who judge. To say “Be Silent” to yourself, you have to break your silence. The thought of “being thoughtless” is there even when you are thoughtless.

Spiritual truths can’t be practiced at mind level. You have to discover something deeper than the mind which is already non-judgemental, silent and thoughtless, Jo”
― Shunya

“When you listen to the sound of waves at the beach, you feel relaxed because your mind doesn’t have to agree, disagree or judge that sound.

Human beings are nothing but waves of five elements. Why does your mind go in overdrive when their sounds fall in your ear? You will feel tremendously relaxed when you stop agreeing. disagreeing or judging every human sound that falls in your ears.”
― Shunya

“Things are complicated. Don’t judge someone as good or bad. If you have already judged, don’t waste your energy in trying to prove that your judgement is right.”
― Shunya

“A son should never be a judge of his father, especially I of such a father as you, who've never in any way put any constraints on my freedom.”
― Ivan Turgenev, Fathers and Sons

“Open-minded people just accept all of life’s perspectives and realities by doing their own thing in peace without judging anyone.
Can't say the same for the ones who force their beliefs on others.”
― Donald Pillai

“Judging types are in a hurry to make decisions. Perceiving types are not. This is why science doesn’t make any serious attempt to reach a final theory of everything. It always says, “Let’s do another experiment. And another. And another.” When will the experimentation ever end? When will scientists conclude that they have now collected easily enough data to now draw definitive conclusions? But they don’t want to draw any such conclusions. That’s not how they roll. Their method has no such requirement. That’s why many of them openly say that they do not want a final theory. It will stop them, they say, from “discovering” new things. Judging types like order and structure. They like decisions, conclusions, getting things done and reaching objectives. Perceiving types are doubtful and skeptical about all of that. They frequently refer to judging types as “judgmental”, which is literally perceived as a bad thing, “authoritarian”, “totalitarian”, “fascist”, “Nazi”, and so on. Perceiving types always want to have an open road ahead of them. They never want to actually arrive. Judging types cannot see the point of not wanting to reach your destination.”
― Thomas Stark, Extra Scientiam Nulla Salus: How Science Undermines Reason

“Don't judge your past actions in the present context.”
― Shunya

“Never judge a man without putting yourself in his place.' This old proverb makes all judgement impossible, for we judge someone only because, in fact, we cannot put ourselves in his place.”
― Emil M. Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born

“And most people judge you the instant they meet you, if not before. I want to make sure they judge me the way I want them to.”
•pg.54 - Quispe”
― Rebecca Schaeffer, Only Ashes Remain

“You may never be able to walk a mile in a man’s shoes, but at least you can give it a try.”
― Frank Sonnenberg, The Path to a Meaningful Life

“The more we are away from God, the more we judge others. The more we are closer to God, the more we judge ourselves.”
― Prasanth Jonathan

“Somehow, not judging has become very much in vogue. When presented with a dilemma, it’s what the progressive-minded are supposed to do. Not judging is great when it comes to superficialities like, “I’m not going to judge your green, bouffant hair,” or civil rights like, “I’m not going to judge your sexual orientation,” but it falls apart when you apply it to moral dilemmas. “I’m not going to judge the Syrian refugee crisis” just makes you sound like an asshole.”
― Tracy Schorn, Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life: The Chump Lady's Survival Guide

“It does not matter what others do, but what we do. Do that which is good, without fear, and without limit or reserve. What right have we to blame the government when we do not that which is good ourselves? How can we pass judgment on others when we invite the same condemnation on ourselves? If you want to be fearless, do good.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

“This isn’t the Day of Judgment. This is the day of great mercy. The Day of Judgment is in His hands. The day of mercy is in ours. All of us who received His forgiveness have done so because of His mercy. All we’re praying is, “God, I know I’m no better than the people of this city. Please show them the same undeserved mercy You’ve shown to me.” God longs to extend His mercy to people who no longer recognize the difference between their right hand and their left. (See Jonah 4:11.) That is not a derogatory remark about their intelligence. Far from it. It’s a statement about the ability of the majority to distinguish between right and wrong.”
― Bill Johnson, God is Good: He's Better Than You Think

“Judging, before falling in love shows, as a false step, and judging after falling in love defines, as a wrong manner since love holds not the scale and measure.”
― Ehsan Sehgal

“Everyone has a story if we are willing to listen. Never judge the book by its look.”
― Omar Cherif

“Perceiving types always focus on the journey but are not bothered about the destination (they don’t care if they never arrive), while judging types are all about the destination, and the journey is the necessary evil to get there. These are two totally different and incompatible worldviews. This is why perceiving types dismiss judging solutions, and judging types find perceiving “solutions” ludicrous. What a perceiving type considers “enlightenment” has nothing in common with what a judging type considers enlightenment.”
― Joe Dixon, Take Them to the Morgue

“Don't fall victim to believing something is completely wrong because you found an error contained therein. In the same way, don't believe something to be right because it contains a single truth.”
― J.S. Felts, Ageless Wisdom: A Treasury of Quotes to Motivate & Inspire

“When you start accepting others just as they are, you’ll have more energy to invest in things that are most important to you, personally and professionally.
Does this sound impossible? Consider this: If you can’t accept other people as they are, can you at least accept that you cannot change them?”
― Darcy Luoma, Thoughtfully Fit: Your Training Plan for Life and Business Success

“Think about the worst thing you have ever done. Something that you are probably ashamed of, and that you know would make other people think less of you. Infidelity. Theft. Lying. Now imagine that everyone knew about it. Judged you for it. Constantly called you names arising from it. How would that feel?
We would hate for the world to forever judge us based on the acts we most regret. Yet this is what we do to others every day. For our own decisions we see the nuances, the circumstances, the difficulties. For others we often just see the outcome of their decisions. This leads us to define human beings, in all their complexity, by a single heinous term. Murderer. Rapist. Thief. Liar. Psychopath. Paedophile.
These are labels bestowed on others, based on our perception of who they must be, given their behaviour. A single word intended to summarise someone’s true character and to disparage it, to communicate to others that this person cannot be trusted. This person is harmful. This person is not really a person at all – rather some sort of horrible aberration. An aberration with whom we should not try to empathise because they are so hopelessly bad that we will never be able to understand them. Such people are beyond understanding, beyond saving, evil.
But who are ‘they’? Perhaps understanding that every single one of us frequently thinks and does things that others view as despicable will help us to understand the very essence of what we call evil. I can guarantee that someone in the world thinks you are evil.”
― Julia Shaw, Evil: The Science Behind Humanity's Dark Side

“I cannot be so arrogant as to categorize your mistakes as so massive that, by comparison, mine are simply trifling errors. For to do that is to make a far bigger mistake than whatever mistake it was that you made.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“We also really enjoyed the sunchoke soup and the slow-cooked black bass," said Luke. "Which chef made those?"
My fingertips tingled as I raised my hand. "I made them."
Luke nodded, his face serious. "The sunchoke soup was creamy, earthy, and smoky all at once, and those bacon croutons were crunchy and added some much-needed texture. We all liked the hint of thyme----it was just enough, as any more would have sent it over the edge.
"And the slow-cooked black bass was so tender it almost melted in our mouths. The preserved tomato broth was a touch salty for our tastes, and we thought the cauliflower could have been cooked a little less, but the texture of the nutty farro stood up against the broth and the fish quite well." He swallowed hard and looked me in the eye. What was that I saw now? Admiration? "Very nice, Chef Sadie."
I gave him the barest nod in response, but I felt like jumping up and down.”
― Amanda Elliot, Sadie on a Plate

“How do you stop yourself from being your own worst critic? It’s simple. You achieve things. You fulfill your potential. In the end, you only regret the things you didn’t do. People’s lives are ruined by all the moping around they do, worrying about wasting their lives. Worrying about wasting your life is exactly how you waste your life. Instead of worrying, you should be doing stuff ... CONSTANTLY, and then you will have constant achievements, constant things to be proud of, and no one else will have what you have.”
― David Sinclair

“Humanity has been living under a dark and destructive self-condemnation. Humanity has been poisoned and condemned, so that nobody thinks himself a beautiful being, nobody thinks himself worthy enough. If
you condemn yourself, how can you grow and how can you worship existence? If you cannot worship existence within yourself, how can you worship existence within
others? You can become a part of the whole only if you have a respect for the divine that resides within you. In creating you, God has already shown that he loves you. By loving yourself, you will know that you are a medium for God. In choosing you to be a medium, he has already loved you and respected you.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Call of the Heart 

“A relationship is like a body cream. You cannot judge someone by the vibe they emit; rather, you have to get to know them at a personal level to decide if they are right for you.”
― Joan Ambu

“Before we go around flashing our angel faces and pointing fingers; let us make sure that our own actions are not testifying against us.”
― Joan Ambu

“Do you know that judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are. This is something we all should watch out for.

What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look.

It's like wearing a yellow tinted spectacle and looking at a white paper. You will definitely see yellow, and you are right. However, you are "rightly wrong". The problem is not what you are looking at, but your tinted spectacle.

We all need to take off our spectacles, if you must wear one ....let it be plain.

We need to see our humanity and how connected we are without all these limiting beliefs that create labels and divisions around us.”
― Chidi Ejeagba

“The more we judge ourselves, the lesser we judge others.”
― Prasanth Jonathan
