“Our senses don't deceive us: our judgment does”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“The senses do not deceive us, but the judgment does.”
“Men of ill judgment ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it.”
Sophocles
“We may not return the affection of those who like us, but we always respect their good judgment.”
Lillian Carter
“Art is long, life short, judgment difficult, opportunity transient.”
“Traveling through the world produces a marvelous clarity in the judgment of men. We are all of us confined and enclosed within ourselves, and see no farther than the end of our nose. This great world is a mirror where we must see ourselves in order to know ourselves. There are so many different tempers, so many different points of view, judgments, opinions, laws and customs to teach us to judge wisely on our own, and to teach our judgment to recognize its imperfection and natural weakness.”
Michel de Montaigne
“Judgment is forced upon us by experience”
Samuel Johnson
