“A man's first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart, his next to escape the censures of the world”
English Proverb
“For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.”
Bible
“For as long as and insofar as it cannot be, it is almost always a reproach to everything that can.”
Antonio Porchia
“Listen to the fools reproach! it is a kingly title!”
William Blake
“There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves, we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.”
Oscar Wilde
“I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.”
“Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.”
