Under the Trees and Elsewhere

CHAPTER XXII
26/33

Our judgments of others fail oftenest through lack of Imagination.

We fail to see all the facts; we see one or two very clearly, and at once form an opinion.

To see the whole range of a human character involves an intellectual and spiritual quality which few of us possess.

There is so little justice among us because we possess so little intelligence.

I ought not to pronounce judgment on a fellow-creature until I know all that enters into his life; until I can measure all the forces of temptation and resistance; until I can give full weight to all the facts in the case.
