This could not be more true. That statement is the foundation of my unease with the general population, who seek to point out flaws in others that they so blatantly display themselves. I like this quote very much.

I agree! I should keep this page hidden as I'm using it to aggregate quotes that I MAY choose to use with discretion at a later date taking on board Tom's thoughts here and my own use of a John O'Farrel quote in this diary that mocks the habit. These are quotes from an MA like course I completed with The School of Communication Arts, London. Better to express your own take on a thing than to cut and paste from someone else and certainly understand the context of these sayings and quotes, which is why I am trying to locate the source so that I can see it in a page, in a chapter, of a book - THEN express my opinion.
