“Malice scorned, puts out itself; but argued, give a kind of credit to a false accusation”
Philip Massinger
“A pinch of praise is worth a pound of scorn. A dash of encouragement is more helpful than a dipper of pessimism. A cup of kindness is better than a cupboard of criticism.”
William Arthur Ward
“I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice, and have received a great deal of kindness not quite free from ridicule.”
Abraham Lincoln
“Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.”
William Shakespeare
“Scorn also to depress thy competitor by any dishonest or unworthy method; strive to raise thyself above him only by excelling him; so shall thy contest for superiority be crowned with honour, if not with success.”
Akhenaton
“When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.”
Lewis Carroll
“Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn the power of man.”
