What I see as a mar, may be a scar — and sign of strength greater than mine

Judge not, that ye be not judged. — Mat. 7:1

Why beboldest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? — Luke 6:41

Judge not; the workings of his brain
And of his heart thou canst not see;
What looks to thy dim eyes a stain,
In God’s pure light may only be
A scar, brought from some well-won field,
Where thou wouldst only faint and yield.
