Does giving your piece of mind, bring a peace of mind? Or is it better to be silent and let the war inside subside?
— Anthony LiccioneLewis Richardson wrote that his quest to analyze peace with numbers sprang from two prejudices. As a Quaker, he believed that 'the moral evil in war outweighs the moral good, although the latter is conspicuous.' As a scientist, he thought there was too much moralizing about war and not enough knowledge. 'For indignation is so easy and satisfying a mood that it is apt to prevent one from attending to any facts that oppose it. If the reader should object that I have abandoned ethics for the false doctrine that 'tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner' [to understand all is to forgive all], I can reply that it is only a temporary suspense of ethical judgment, made because 'beaucoup condamner c'est peu comprendre' [to condemn much is to understand little].' (p. 200).
— Steven PinkerNever criticize, complain or condemn. Never forget to appreciate with love what is good in a person.
— Debasish MridhaWell, heaven forgive him! And forgive us all! Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall: Some run from brakes of ice, and answer none: And some condemned for a fault alone.
— William ShakespeareWe are equal by fault, but never equal in acceptance.
— Anthony LiccioneThe spectacle of what is called religion, or at any rate organised religion, in India and elsewhere, has filled me with horror and I have frequently condemned it and wished to make a clean sweep of it. Almost always it seemed to stand for blind belief and reaction, dogma and bigotry, superstition, exploitation and the preservation of vested interests.
— Jawaharlal NehruJudging others is too often escapism dressed in the garb of righteous indignation, whereby I dutifully point out in others that which I probably should be pointing out in myself.
— Craig D. LounsbroughWhenever they are condemning weaves or breast implants, some people speak so passionately that their false teeth almost fall out.
— Mokokoma MokhonoanaGoing to the extreme of inviting and welcoming people into your church in order to hear you condemn them or to know from your policy that you condemn them is not much better than bullying.
— Christina EngelaGod can allow you to pass through storms and get to your success. But what the devil loves to do is to make you not to realize it that the storm is over. He wishes to keep you in condemnation even at the time you have to feel liberated.
