Saying / ProverbAnalogy★★★★
Some men never can find anything of good in another. They doubt, they insinuate, they scoff at their pretensions. It is far better to search for the good instead of the bad. Let us beware of imitating such natures. They betray their own heart by their actions. A carrion bird may impose on some as an eagle, but its choice of food betrays it.
The point
Warns against those who doubt and scoff at others' goodness, revealing their own bad character.
