An expert is someone who has succeeded in making decisions and judgements simpler through knowing what to pay attention to and what to ignore.
Leave people to their opinions and judgements. They cannot harm you; it is their understanding that is faulty, not yours.
Live one day at a time. Keep your attention in present time. Have no expectations. Make no judgements. And give up the need to know why things happen as they do. Give it up!
Everyone is a flux - so it's good to suspend judgements forever.
Life is just an endless chain of judgements. . . . The more imperfect our judgement, the less perfect our success.
It is astounding that man, the instigator, inventor and vehicle of all these developments, the originator of all judgements and decisions and the planner of the future, must make himself such a quantité negligeable.
Some philosophers fail to distinguish propositions from judgements;. . . But in the real world it is more important that a proposition be interesting than that it be true. The importance of truth is that it adds to interest.
Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man and let history make its own judgements.
Let your resistance, judgements, angers and fears inform you.
Thus it is thought that justice is equality; and so it is, but not for all persons, only for those that are equal. Inequality also is thought to be just; and so it is, but not for all, only for the unequal. We make bad mistakes if we neglect this for whom when we are deciding what is just. The reason is that we are making judgements about ourselves, and people are generally bad judges where their own interests are involved.
See the possibility that people and things can change at any time and don't hold on to judgements.
I devoured Gibbon. I rode triumphantly through it from end to end and enjoyed it all. I scribbled all my opinions on the margins of the pages. . . From Gibbon I went to Macauley. I had learnt The Lays of Ancient Rome by heart, and loved them; and of course I knew he had written a history; but I had never read a page of it. . . I accepted all Macauley wrote as gospel, and I was grieved to read his harsh judgements upon the Great Duke of Marlborough.
Physiologically, it simply doesn't matter whether your anger is justified or not. The body doesn't make moral judgements about feelings; it just responds.
I often arrive at quite sensible ideas and judgements, on the spur of the moment. It is when I stop to think that I become foolish.
'Til the infallibility of human judgements shall have been proved to me, I shall demand the abolition of the penalty of death.
As Luxenberg's work has only recently been published we must await its scholarly assessment before we can pass any judgements. But if his analysis is correct then suicide bombers, or rather prospective martyrs, would do well to abandon their culture of death, and instead concentrate on getting laid 72 times in this world, unless of course they would really prefer chilled or white raisins, according to their taste, in the next.
The only way is to teach with love, which requires looking beyond what seems, and remembering we create with our judgements.
That I can't relate to today's music or morals doesn't make either necessarily bad. Just different. I leave the judgements to others.
Science is the century-old endeavour to bring together by means of systematic thought the perceptible phenomena of this world into as thorough-going an association as possible. To put it boldly, it is the attempt at a posterior reconstruction of existence by the process of conceptualization. Science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgements of all kinds remain necessary.
I learned a lot from the stories my uncle, aunts, and grandparents told me: that no one is perfect but most people are good; that people can't be judged only by their worst or weakest moments; that harsh judgements make hypocrites of us all; that a lot of life is just showing up and hanging on; that laughter is often the best, and sometimes only response to pain.
