“A good critic is one who narrates the adventures of his mind among masterpieces.”
Anatole France
“One mustn't criticize other people on grounds where he can't stand perpendicular himself”
Mark Twain
“If I care to listen to every criticism, let alone act on them, then this shop may as well be closed for all other businesses. I have learned to do my best, and if the end result is good then I do not care for any criticism, but if the end result is not good, then even the praise of ten angels would not make the difference.”
Abraham Lincoln
“Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.”
William Arthur Ward
“Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.”
Benjamin Franklin
“When I am abroad, I always make it a rule to never criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.”
Winston Churchill
“It is easier to be critical than correct.”
Benjamin Disraeli
