To remember one’s own faults and not the faults of others

O Emigrants! The tongue I have designed for the mention of Me, defile it not with detraction. If the fire of self overcome you, remember your own faults and not the faults of My creatures, inasmuch as every one of you knoweth his own self better than he knoweth others.  
(Baha'u'llah, ‘The Hidden Words of Baha’u’llah’)
