Not forgetting what we were, we shall not despair of those who now are what we were.
Or: If we do not forget what we were, we shall not despair of those who now are what we were. (Augustine, Enar. in Ps 50, 24; PL 36, 599 )
Non obliviscentes quid fuerimus, non desperabimus de his qui nunc sunt quod fuimus.
That’s a great quote. It increases compassion and non-judgmentalism. It’s much harder to be judgmental when we recollect that we were once at a similar stage in our own lives.
