"But the safe path for the soul that practices prayer will be not to bother about anything or anyone and to pay attention to itself and to pleasing God. This is important - ah, if I should have to speak of the mistakes I have seen happen by trusting in the good intention! But let us strive always to look at the virtues and good deeds we see in others and cover their defects with the thought of our own great sins. This is a manner of acting that, although we cannot do so with perfection right away, gradually gains for us a great virtue, that is: considering all others better than ourselves. In this way with the help of God one begins to acquire this virtue, for it is necessary in all things; and when it is lacking, all our efforts are useless. Let us beseech Him to give us this virtue, for He will not refuse it to anyone who does his best."
- Saint Teresa of Jesus [The Book of Her Life ]
