What is the difference between a “mote” and a “beam”?

Thomas R. Valletta

“A ‘mote’ is a tiny splinter; a ‘beam’ is a large board used in construction. We are quick to notice the tiny weaknesses and flaws in others and yet slow to recognize large debilities in ourselves” (Ogden and Skinner, Book of Mormon, 2:173).
