Ch. I: "Kindness", § 2: "Kind Thoughts", pp. 44–45.
“
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 grow to something higher and something truer than a quickness in detecting evil.
— Frederick William Faber
