Quote by Theodore Parker

Outward judgment often fails, inward judgment never.

Outward judgment often fails, inward judgment never.

Summary

This quote suggests that making judgments solely based on external appearances or observations is often flawed and prone to error. However, when we evaluate situations or people by looking inwardly and reflecting on our own values, beliefs, and experiences, our judgment tends to be more accurate and insightful. Inward judgment refers to deeper introspection and understanding, which is more reliable in assessing the truth and making informed decisions. It highlights the importance of considering internal factors and using our own reasoning rather than relying solely on external observations.
