Quotes About Judgment

Sometimes it was better to say nothing than to fill a void badly.
~ Neal Stephenson
Then he nodded at a work party of Hispanic men busy heaving shattered drywall and rolls of nasty old carpet into huge rolling bins for disposal. "And those guys are from the sidewalk in front of Home Depot. If my higher-ups knew . . ." He shook his head.
~ Neal Stephenson
Most men would rather be shot through with a broad-headed arrow than be described by you." Eliza could not help laughing.
~ Neal Stephenson
Diax said something that is still very important to us, which is that you should not believe a thing only because you like to believe it. We call that 'Diax's Rake' and sometimes we repeat it to ourselves as a reminder not to let subjective emotions cloud our judgment.
~ Neal Stephenson
It seems to us indeed that this block of marble brought from Genoa would have been exactly the same if it had been left there, because our senses make us judge only superficially, but at bottom because of the connection of things the whole universe with all of its parts would be entirely different, and would have been another from the beginning, if the least thing in it went otherwise than it does.
~ Neal Stephenson
For, you see, even if there is no right and wrong, you can find grounds to criticise another person by contrasting what he has espoused with what he has actually done. In this case, you are not making any judgment whatsoever as to the correctness of his views or the morality of his behaviour—you are merely pointing out that he has said one thing and done another. Virtually all political discourse in the days of my youth was devoted to the ferreting out of hypocrisy.
~ Neal Stephenson
as I judged it would be suicidal; and though I am ever ready to die in the line of duty, I was of the view that for us to commit suicide would have impeded us in the conduct of our mission.
~ Neal Stephenson
He has an important job: Protect the yard. Sometimes people come in and out of the yard. Most of the time, they are good people, and he doesn't bother them. He doesn't know why they are good people. He just knows it. Sometimes they are bad people, and he has to do bad things to them to make them go away. This is fitting and proper.
~ Neal Stephenson
That many ignorant people could be dangerous if they got pointed in the wrong direction, and so we've evolved a popular culture that is (a) almost unbelievably infectious, and (b) neuters every person who gets infected by it, by rendering them unwilling to make judgments and incapable of taking stands.
~ Neal Stephenson
Pain results from a judgment you have made about a thing. Remove the judgment and the pain disappears.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Pain results from a judgement you have made about a thing. Remove the judgement and the pain disappears.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
No one does anything inappropriate, given their model of the world.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Father, help me never to place judgment upon another and then only upon the merit therein.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
In that realm you will know at last the Good News: that your "devil" does not exist, that you are who you always thought you were—goodness and love. Your idea that you might be something else has come from an insane outer world, causing you to act insanely. An outer world of judgment and condemnation. Others have judged you, and from their judgments you have judged yourself.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Yet what kind of choice is free when to choose one thing over the other brings condemnation? How is "free will" free when it is not your will, but someone else's, which must be done?
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Judge not, then, the karmic path walked by another. Envy not success, nor pity failure, for you know not what is success or failure in the soul's reckoning. Call not a thing calamity, nor joyous event, until you decide, or witness, how it is used. For is a death a calamity if it saves the lives of thousands? And is a life a joyous event if it has caused nothing but grief? Yet even this you should not judge, but keep always your own counsel, and allow others theirs.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
If a thing is obviously right, do it. But remember to exercise extreme judgment regarding what you call "right" and "wrong." A thing is only right or wrong because you say it is. A thing is not right or wrong intrinsically.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Rightness" or "wrongness" is not an intrinsic condition, it is a subjective judgment in a personal value system. By your subjective judgments do you create your Self—by your personal values do you determine and demonstrate Who You Are.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Por lo tanto, no juzgues ni condenes, pero sé una luz que se adentra en la oscuridad para que seas capaz de anunciar y afirmar, expresar y alcanzar, conocer y experimentar Quién Eres en Realidad —y que todos aquellos cuyas vidas tocas también puedan saber quiénes son ellos en realidad, gracias al poder del ejemplo. ¿No es esto lo que todos los maestros han hecho?
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Radite ono što želite. Radite ono što vas odražava, predstavlja, kao ve?u viziju vašeg ja. Ako želite da se ose?ate loše, ose?ajte se tako. Ali nemojte da osu?ujete niti okrivljujete jer ne znate zašto se nešto doga?a, niti sa kojim ciljem. Upamtite slede?e: to što okrivljujete ?e okriviti vas, i to što osu?ujete - jednog dana ?ete postati.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Enlightenment begins with acceptance, without judgment of "what is.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
When you bring an end to judgment, you bring an end to an entire way of living. This is no small thing. This is a life changing shift in attitude and behavior. This is a miracle.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Nothing is painful in and of itself. Pain is a result of wrong thought. It is an error in thinking. A Master can disappear the most grievous pain. In this way, the Master heals. Pain results from a judgment you have made about a thing. Remove the judgment and the pain disappears.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Guilt is often used by you in your attempt to feel bad about something you feel good about—and thus reconcile yourself with God…who you think does not want you to feel good about anything!
~ Neale Donald Walsch
