Fix up the man in the mirror first, And don't make proving that everyone else is a sinner your quest.

In other words

Judging other people is easier than looking at yourself, and it is also useless — it changes nothing about you. Innocent’s version of the motto skips the part where you catch someone else being wrong and goes straight to the mirror instead. He checks himself before he checks anyone else’s account, and he has stuck to it through setbacks, betrayals and a career path pulled out from under him. Fixing yourself first is not modesty. It is the only fix that is actually available to you.
