CRITICISM

"Never react emotionally to criticism. Analyze yourself to determine whether it is justified. If it is, correct yourself. Otherwise, go on about your business." 

~ Norman Vincent Peale 

"Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots." 

~ Frank Howard Clark 

"To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing and be nothing."   

~ Elbert Hubbard 

"If criticism is mistaken or mean-spirited, rise above it. Maintain the high ground when you're under fire. No victory is worth winning at the expense of picking up the mud that has been slung at you and throwing it back." 

~ Rubel Shelly

"When you are not attached to praise or criticism, an interesting freedom is yours." 

Kute Blackson 

Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” 

― Louise L. Hay 

“Don't criticize what you don't understand, son. You never walked in that man's shoes.” 

“Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots.” 

"People tend to criticize their spouse most loudly in the area where they themselves have the deepest emotional need.” 

Stay positive and happy. Work hard and don't give up hope. Be open to criticism and keep learning. Surround yourself with happy, warm and genuine people. 

Tena Desae 

You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one. 

I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses. 

Johannes Kepler
