"One does not lash hat lies at a distance. The foibles that we ridicule must at least be a little bit our own. Only then will the work be a part of our own flesh. The garden must be weeded"

This quote by Paul Klee is a suggestion to be conscious of our words and actions. We should not fast to evaluate or slam others from a distance, as we can not truly comprehend their circumstance. Instead, we should focus on our own defects and weaknesses, and use them as a knowing chance. Just then can we really understand and appreciate the work of others. We must take the time to weed out our own garden, so to speak, before we can be in a position to help others. This quote motivates us to be sincere with ourselves and to take responsibility for our own actions. It is only then that we can really comprehend and value the work of others.
