"Never condemn each other. We condemn others only because we shun knowing ourselves. When we gaze at our own failings, we see such a swamp that nothing in another can equal it. That is why we turn away, and make much of the faults of others. Instead of condemning others, strive to reach inner peace. Keep silent, refrain from judgement." 

~ St. Seraphim of Sarov

"Just remember, there's a right way and a wrong way to do everything and the wrong way is to keep trying to make everybody else do it the right way."  

~M*A*S*H, Colonel Potter

"One should examine oneself for a very long time before thinking of condemning others."

~ Moliere

‎"You see only with your eyes, so you are easy to fool." 

~ Jackie Chan in Karate Kid

"Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome."

~ Isaac Asimov

"The biggest problem with hell is not just the hypocrisy of the church, but the notion that God is both all glorious and yet an incredible failure at having won the world over. If the vast majority will die and go to hell, then does this not bring into question the foresight of God, the effectiveness of His effort to communicate redemptive love and the flawed design He used for human beings?  Adam in his falling was more powerful than Christ in His rising." 

~ Bob Greaves

         "Life isn't found in the destination you're headed to. It's found all around you in the journey you're on to get there. If you spend all your moments watching your feet, being careful not to step in the mud, not to trip over a root, not to stub your toe on a rock... if all you do is make sure you're walking right, then you are completely missing the scenery all around you that is called LIFE!
         "You can arrive at your destination filled with pride that you got there in pristine condition, or you can arrive a little muddy and bruised but filled with the life you experienced along the way!" 

~ Robert Cook

When you find a redemptive explanation for your suffering, you move from victim to wounded healer.

~ Donald Miller
