"One can hardly ever know enough of a man's temperament and antecedents
to condemn him unreservedly. It is scarcely possible to be sure that a man is
worse than he need have been, or that one would have done better if one had
been in his place; and thus one must try to resist any expression of personal
disapproval, because such an expression implies a consciousness of moral
superiority, and the moment that one is conscious of that, as in the Parable of
the Pharisee and the Publican, the position of the condemner and the condemned
is instantaneously reversed." A. C. Benson.
