“Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.”
Bible
“Little boldness is needed to assail the opinions and practices of notoriously wicked men; but to rebuke great and good men for their conduct, and to impeach their discernment, is the highest effort of moral courage.”
William Lloyd Garrison
“And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? / And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.”
“Next to a sincere compliment, I think I like a well-deserved and honest rebuke”
William Feather
“We tolerate without rebuke the vices with which we have grown familiar”
Publilius Syrus
“Rebuke should have a grain more of salt than of sugar.”
Proverb
“A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.”
