Only those who know their weaknesses can be tolerant of the weaknesses of their neighbors.

My children, if someone abuses you with words; do not pay much attention; be quiet at your prayer; and ask your friends to settle the dispute and find peace between you and those who have abused you. 

— The Talmud

The man who cannot forgive destroys a bridge which he will have to cross; because every person needs forgiveness. 

— Edward Herbert

Almost always; when we look deep into our souls; we  can find there the same sins which we blame in others. If we do not find a particular sin in our soul, then we should look more closely, and we will find worse sins there.

A deep river is not if you throw a stone into it. If a religious person is hurt by criticism, then he is not a river but a shallow pool. Forgive others, and then you will receive forgiveness.

 — Muslih-Ud-Din Saadi

If we can put ourselves into the place of other people, we lessen our pride.
