"Most people use two totally different sets of……" — John C. Maxwell

"Most people use two totally different sets of criteria for judging themselves versus others. We tend to judge others according to their actions. It's very cut-and-dried.

And we are often willing to do that over and over before requiring ourselves to change."

— John C. Maxwell
