Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
- Carl Jung
Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain,
and most fools do.
- Benjamin Franklin
Never ascribe to malice that which is
adequately explained by incompetence.
- Napoleon
When they are disappointed, most people react by assigning blame,
and finding someone to criticize.
What if we accepted that our disappointments
are seldom the result of malice on the part of anyone,
and worked together to make life better for all.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am,
then I can change.
- Carl Rogers
