"Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives."
~Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, physician, musician, Nobel laureate (1875-1965)

"One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results."
~Milton Friedman, economist, Novel laureate (1912- )

I feel the same way about judging people. I try to find out or figure out what someone's intent is when things seem to go wrong. I believe people usually mean well rather than mean to hurt others.
