Darren Remington Quotes

I have labored carefully, not to mock, lament, or execrate, but to understand human actions

Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others.

Solemnity in politicians is not only tiresome but may even mask those twin sins - self-righteousness and intolerance - for the opinions of others. If I couldn't laugh, I couldn't live, especially in politics.

I could be less impatient with people. I sometimes judge by impressions.

What I have known with respect to myself, has tended much to lessen both my admiration, and my contempt, of others.

I tolerate my faults but not at all other people's.

I don't mean to criticize anyone in any way that I wouldn't criticize myself. I think people should have fun, and have a good time, and enjoy the luck that we have to be lazy and dwell in consumerism. But I think that it's a balance. And our job as actors is empathy.

Self criticism must be my guide to action, and the first rule for its employment is that in itself it is not a virtue, only a procedure.

Observe all men, thyself most.

In the past, I used to argue with those who didn't share my views. I felt this incredible need to 'make my point.' Now I live my life and do my best to be an example of what seems right to me.

If you've raged, if you've mistreated somebody, if you've ever thought only about yourself - these are things that all human beings struggle with and judge themselves for.

Any time you start judging with an overly critical eye rather than letting things just be, and following what you think is right, it's complicated to find balance.

Only those faults which we encounter in ourselves are insufferable to us in others.

Be gentle and kind with every one, and severe with yourself.

If people can be educated to see the lowly side of their own natures, it may be hoped that they will also learn to understand and to love their fellow men better. A little less hypocrisy and a little more tolerance towards oneself can only have good results in respect for our neighbor; for we are all too prone to transfer to our fellows the injustice and violence we inflict upon our own natures.

I've worked really, really hard on myself to not be judgmental.

I'm very judgmental person. It's one of my faults.

Were we faultless, we would not derive such satisfaction from remarking the faults of others.

It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The folly which we might have ourselves committed is the one which we are least ready to pardon in another.

I'm extremely self-critical. Although I try not to be ridiculous about it, wearing horsehair shirts and all that. It's a private exercise I don't necessarily share with other people.

The more you know yourself, the more patience you have for what you see in others.

I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.

Mostly I am sorry for the way I thought of other people. Like a good general, I had treated everyone who wasn't with me as against me.
