About This Quote

You must first of all think justly. Don’t sit in judgment over others when you don’t know the truth of the matter. This quote is a reminder that we must seek out and learn the truth before we pass judgment on others. We must not seek out and then pass judgment on those who we do not know. If we do this, we will end up with a host of false assumptions about those we do not know and no one will be happy as a result.
