“You cannot judge a man's life by the success of a moment, by the victory of an hour, or even by the results of a year. You must view his life as a whole. You must stand where you can see the man as he treads the entire path that leads from the cradle to the grave - now crossing the plain, now climbing the steeps, now passing through pleasant fields, now wending his way with difficulty between rugged rocks - tempted, tried, tested, triumphant.” MenWayYearsWholeMomentsHoursResultsViewsPathRocksFieldsHe ManJudgingVictoryDifficultyGravesPassingPassingsPleasantClimbingTestedTemptedCradleCrossingsTriumphantPassing ThroughRugged Book:The Life and Speeches of Hon.

“It is often hard to secure unanimity about the borders of legislative power, but that is much easier than to decide how far a particular adjustment diverges from what the judges deem tolerable. On such issues experience has over and over again shown the difficulty of securing unanimity. This is disastrous because disunity cancels the impact of monolithic solidarity on which the authority of a bench of judges so largely depends.” HardIssuesParticularJudgingDependsEasierAuthorityDifficultyImpactSecureBordersSolidarityAdjustmentBenchesTolerableUnanimityDisunity Author:Learned Hand
“Every one of us knows how painful it is to be called by malicious names, to have his character undermined by false insinuations, to be overreached in a bargain, to be neglected by those who rise in life, to be thrust on one side by those who have stronger wills and stouter hearts. Every one knows, also, the pleasure of receiving a kind look, a warm greeting, a hand held out to help in distress, a difficulty solved, a higher hope revealed for this world or the next. By that pain and by that pleasure let us judge what we should do to others.” KnowsWorldShouldLooksHeartKindCharacterHelpingHandsPainNextNamesSidesPleasureKindnessKnow HowThis WorldJudgingHigherDifficultyStrongerPainfulWarmReceivingDistressNeglectedThrustBargainsGreetingsMalicious Author:Arthur Penrhyn Stanley
“The difficulty in judging what type of behavior works well arises not only because a given course of action does not always produce the outcomes. Similar outcomes can occur for reasons other than the person's actions, which further complicates inferential judgment. Effects that arise independently of one's actions distort the influence of similar effects produced by the actions, but only on some occasions. Given a strong cognitive set to perceive regularities, even chance joint occurrences of events can be easily misjudged as genuine relationships of low contingent probability” WellsPersonsDoeReasonActionCoursesStrongGivenChanceInfluenceEffectsEventsProduceJudgingTypeBehaviorJudgmentLowsDifficultyGenuineAriseOccasionsPerceiveOutcomesProbabilityJointsCognitiveRegularitySelf Efficacy Author:Albert Bandura

“Mere numbers cannot bring out ... the intimate essence of the experiment. This conviction comes naturally when one watches a subject at work. ... What things can happen! What reflections, what remarks, what feelings, or, on the other hand, what blind automatism, what absence of ideas! ... The experimenter judges what may be going on in [the subject's] mind, and certainly feels difficulty in expressing all the oscillations of a thought in a simple, brutal number, which can have only a deceptive precision. How, in fact, could it sum up what would need several pages of description!” NeedsFeelsMindMayIdeasFactsFeelingsHandsHappensScienceSimpleNumbersWatchesSubjectsJudgingPagesReflectionEssenceDifficultyBlindMereConvictionAbsenceExperimentsIntimateDescriptionBrutalRemarksPrecisionDeceptiveOscillation Author:Alfred Binet
