You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link. This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link. To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam. To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
You cannot judge any man beyond your knowledge of him, and how small is your knowledge.
Conscience is a just but weak judge. Weakness leaves it powerless to execute its judgment.
To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Your thought describes laws, courts, judges, punishments. Mine explains that when man makes a law, he either violates it or obeys it. If there is a basic law, we are all one before it. He who disdains the mean is himself mean. He who vaunts his scorn of the sinful vaunts his disdain of all humanity.
When we oppose the hidden conscience, it does us hurt. When we betray it, it judges us.
