The habit of judging is so nearly incurable, and its cure is such an 
almost interminable process, that we must concentrate ourselves for a 
long while on keeping it in check, and this check is to be found in kind 
interpretations. We must come to esteem very lightly our sharp eye for 
evil, on which perhaps we once prided ourselves as cleverness. We must 
look at our talent for analysis of character as a dreadful possibility 
of huge uncharitableness. We are sure to continue to say clever things, 
so long as we continue to indulge in this analysis; and clever things 
are equally sure to be sharp and acid. We must grow to something higher, 
and something truer, than a quickness in detecting evil.
