"We must come to esteem very lightly our sharp eye for evil, on which,
perhaps, we once prided ourselves as cleverness. It has been to us a
fountain of sarcasm ; and how seldom since Adam was created has sarcasm
fallen short of being a sin ! We must look at our talent for analysis of
character as a dreadful possibility of huge uncharitableness. We should
have been much better without it from the first. It is the hardest
talent of all to manage, because it is so difficult to make any glory
for God out of it."
(Kindness, Spiritual Conferences)
