Nos condenamos siempre por lo que decimos, no por lo que hacemos.

We always condemn most in others, he thought, that which we most fear in ourselves.

If we all were judged according to the consequences
Of all our words and deeds, beyond the intention
And beyond our limited understanding
Of ourselves and others, we should all be condemned.

Whatever we say, we’re always talking about ourselves.

Words, too, are a type of combat, for we always become what we refuse to say.

We would rather speak ill of ourselves than not talk about ourselves at all.

One always speaks badly when one has nothing to say.

Whatever we say, we’re always talking about ourselves.” — Alison Bechdel

It is part of the human nature always to judge others very severely and,when the wind turns against us,always to find an excuse for our own misdeeds,or to blame someone else for our mistakes.

We are accused also of condemning all who are not of our mind and who act not as we do. That we deny. We condemn no man, but we show to men their reprobate life and warn them of condemnation.

On parle toujours mal quand on n'a rien à dire.

"As long as we continue to live as if we are what we do, what we have, and what other people think about us, we will remain filled with judgments, opinions, evaluations, and condemnations. We will remain addicted to putting people and things in their "right" place."

Always, always, always referring every goddam thing that happens right back to our lousy little egos.

We are not indeed obliged always to speak what we think, but we must always think what we speak. (p. 149).
