DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER

"Judging a person does not define who they are but it defines who you are"

If you judge people, you have no time to love them. Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you (Matthew 7:1-2) 

Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect and I don't live to be but before you start pointing fingers... make sure you hands are clean! 

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. In the end, people should be judged by their actions, since in the end, it was actions that defined everyone. Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are. I intend to judge things for myself; to judge wrongly, I think, is more honorable than not to judge at all.

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. That mess about judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin—that's some bullshit. Nobody has the right to judge anybody else. Period. If you ain't been in my skin, you ain't never gonna understand my character.

“Don't judge a man by his opinions, but what his opinions have made of him.”

You cannot be fair to others without first being fair to yourself. Know that a well-honed sense of justice is a measure of personal experience, and all experience is a measure of self. Know that the highest expression of justice is mercy. Thus, as the supreme judge in your own court, you must have compassion for yourself. Otherwise, cede your gavel.
