Matthew 7:3
Wikipedia finds that the psychological mechanism of projection is biblically based:
I've been looking for a handy meme to express the too-academic notion of projection, that also avoids the stale notion of "hypocrisy"—since, after all, people expect politicians to be hypocrites. "Matthew 7:3" might resonate well with wise, discerning Christians, as well.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
(via The King James Bible)
