Finding fault in others, just for the sake of finding fault, we will pollute our own minds.

Mata Amritanandamayi

God reproduces and lives out His image in millions of ordinary people like us. It is a supreme mystery. We are called to bear that image as a Body because any one of us taken individually would present an incomplete image, one partly false and always distorted, like a single glass chip hacked from a mirror. But collectively, in all our diversity, we can come together as a community of believers to restore the image of God in the world.

Philip Yancey

There's something delicious about finding fault with something. And that can be including finding fault with one's self, you know?

Pema Chodron

Happy are those who find fault with themselves instead of finding fault with others.

Muhammad

Try finding love, rather than finding fault.

Gerald Jampolsky

Dreams are only the image of outward things shown on an inward mirror. But the mirror is the soul's enclosing darkness.

Maude Meagher

Pity is for this life, pity is the worm inside the meat, pity is the meat, pity is the shaking pencil, pity is the shaking voice-- not enough money, not enough love--pity for all of us--it is our grace, walking down the ramp or on the moving sidewalk, sitting in a chair, reading the paper, pity, turning a leaf to the light, arranging a thorn.

Jane Austen

The world has become uglier since it began to look into a mirror every day; so let us settle for the mirror image and do without an inspection of the original.

Karl Kraus

You pray best when the mirror of your soul is empty of every image except the Image of the Invisible Father.

Thomas Merton

You will feel better in ten sessions, look better in twenty sessions, and have a completely new body in thirty sessions.

Joseph Pilates

Psychologically speaking, what is true requires no protection, and never becomes negative when challenged. On the other hand, what is false almost never stops trying to protect itself, which it does by finding fault with whatever or whoever challenges the false image behind which it always hides.

Guy Finley

Ah, children, pity level-crossing keepers, pity lock-keepers - pity lighthouse-keepers - pity all the keepers of this world (pity even school teachers), caught between their conscience and the bleak horizon.

Graham Swift

We all know a mirror reflects us, if you look in it. If you move, the reflection moves. If you project from a mirror, meaning it will project an image, it's nothing to do with you. The world seen by nobody.

David Hockney

If studying the periodic table taught me nothing else, it's that the credulity of human beings for periodic table panaceas is pretty much boundless.

Sam Kean

A beautiful woman looking at her image in the mirror may very well believe the image is herself. An ugly woman knows it is not.

Simone Weil

What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature, when he had a chance!' Pity? It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need. And he has been well rewarded, Frodo. Be sure that he took so little hurt from the evil, and escaped in the end, because he began his ownership of the Ring so. With Pity.

J. R. R. Tolkien
