On: Goethe’s Aphorisms

One need only grow old to become gentler in one’s judgments. I see no fault committed which I could not have committed myself.

Jung said something similar. Couldn't find the quote but it's something like:

The point at which we cannot accept someone else. When their actions are so terrible that we think of them as a monster, different than ourselves. Marks the point that we haven't explored and come to know ourselves.

We can't imagine doing something so bad because we don't really know what we're capable of.

Have to say this one got me thinking somewhat. Nowadays we would call these observations 'tweets' of course.
