Define yourself Quote by Anonymous
“When you judge others, you do not define him or her, you define yourself. What you are saying about others you are also saying about yourself. Don't even allow one of your friends to talk about someone else behind their backs, because if they can do that to others, they will do the same unto you. What a person says about other people; says more about themselves than what others have to say about them --- therefore ...judge ye not... (Matthew 7:1-6)”
