Before You Criticise Someone

Post by Better Call Saul » Fri Mar 10, 2017 6:53 pm

I was reading a book today when I came across the following quote:

Before you criticise someone,
You should walk a mile in his shoes.
Then when you start to criticise him,
you're a mile away and he's got to run after you in his socks.

That's the best quotation I've heard in a long time and I can think of a few posters on this forum it could apply to.
Who made the quote? Jack Reacher in a Lee Child book call 'Gone Tomorrow'.
