Judgment Quotes
-
The human faculties of perception, judgment, discriminative feeling, mental activity, and even moral preference, are exercised only in making a choice. He who does anything because it is the custom, makes no choice.
John Stuart Mill
-
Socrates condemned art because he preferred philosophy and only after much internal struggle did Plato accept this judgment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
People who live great stories know failure isn’t a judgment, it’s an education.
Donald Miller
-
Pray with your intelligence. Bring things to God that you have thought out and think them out again with Him. That is the secret of good judgment.
Charles Brent
-
O Judgment ! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason !
William Shakespeare
-
No human face is exactly the same in its lines on each side, no leaf perfect in its lobes, no branch in its symmetry. All admit irregularity as they imply change; and to banish imperfection is to destroy expression, to check exertion, to paralyze vitality. All things are literally better, lovelier, and more beloved for the imperfections which have been divinely appointed, that the law of human life may be Effort, and the law of human judgment, Mercy.
John Ruskin
-
Harmony of period and melody of style have greater weight than is generally imagined in the judgment we pass upon writing and writers. As a proof of this, let us reflect what texts of scripture, what lines in poetry, or what periods we most remember and quote, either in verse or prose, and we shall find them to be only musical ones.
William Shenstone
-
It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgment.
Arthur Conan Doyle
-
Music is a very personal thing, so if you hear one type of song that you don't like, you pass judgment on whole band's repertoire.
Chris Metzler
-
When you are giving feedback, try to be descriptive and minimize judgment.
Edgar Schein
-
The Law of God was never a ladder for unsaved people to climb up to heaven. It was always a pattern of life for God’s people who had been saved from judgment by the blood of the Lamb.
Colin S. Smith
-
Wisdom is a fox who, after long hunting, will at last cost you the pains to dig out; it is a cheese, which, by how much the richer, has the thicker, the homlier, and the coarser coat; and whereof to a judicious palate, the maggots are best. It is a sack posset, wherein the deeper you go, you'll find it the sweeter. Wisdom is a hen, whose cackling we must value and consider, because it is attended with an egg. But lastly, it is a nut, which, unless you choose with judgment, may cost you a tooth, and pay you with nothing but a worm.
Jonathan Swift
