St. Nephon
"My child, if you want to live amongst people, you must watch the following:
Do not criticize anyone at all; do not ridicule anyone; do not become angry;
do not despise anyone. Be very careful not to say 'so-and-so lives
virtuously,' or 'so-and-so lives immorally,' because this is exactly what
'judge not' means. Look at everyone in the same way, with the same
disposition, the same thought, with a simple heart. Accept them as you would
accept Christ. Don't open your ears to a person who judges."
