Think before you judge.

There's a story behind every person. There's a reason why they're the way they are. Think about that before you judge anyone.

Accepting people for who they are.

When you go out into the woods and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You appreciate it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying ‘You’re too this, or I’m too this.’ That judging mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are. ~ Ram Dass

We don't forgive people because we are weak.

We don't forgive people because we are weak. We forgive people because we are strong enough to know that we all make mistakes and that it's not our place to judge them.

Once you awaken, you will have no interest in judging those who sleep.

We are very good lawyers for our own mistakes, but very good judges for the mistakes of others.

Judge nothing by the appearance.

Judge nothing by the appearance. The more beautiful the serpent, the more fatal its sting. ~William Scott Downey

Trust before you love, know before you judge, commit before you promise, forgive before you forget and appreciate before you regret.

Do not, I repeat, do not allow anyone to sit high and look low to judge you.
