About This Quote

The first person to judge is the excitable observer. He is the one that makes a judgement first and then passes his judgement on to others. People, especially children, can be very excitable and jump from one thing to another without taking time to think about what they are doing. On the other hand, the prudent observer will first learn to know what he or she knows and then pass judgement on what he or she knows.
