Motivational Quotes
Criticism
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.

Best Quotes about Criticism
Since we cannot attain unto it, let us revenge ourselves with railing against it.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Do what you feel in your heart to be right. You'll be criticized anyway.
Roosevelt, Eleanor
The biggest critics of my books are people who never read them.
Collins, Jackie
We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.
Beecher, Henry Ward
We have been educated to such a fine -- or dull -- point that we are incapable of enjoying something new, something different, until we are first told what it's all about. We don't trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation. In short, the blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.
Miller, Henry
The literary critic, or the critic of any other specific form of artistic expression, may detach himself from the world for as long as the work of art he is contemplating appears to do the same.
James, Clive
If what they are saying about you is true, mend your ways. If it isn't true, forget it, and go on and serve the Lord.
Ironside, H. A.
Criticism is an indirect form of self-boasting.
Fox, Dr. Emmit
Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Reviewers are usually people who would have been, poets, historians, biographer, if they could. They have tried their talents at one thing or another and have failed; therefore they turn critic.
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor
The great critic must be a philosopher, for from philosophy he will learn serenity, impartiality, and the transitoriness of human things.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Post-modernism has cut off the present from all futures. The daily media add to this by cutting off the past. Which means that critical opinion is often orphaned in the present.
Berger, John
I know I'm never as good or bad as one single performance. I've never believed in my critics or my worshippers, and I've always been able to leave the game at the arena.
Barkley, Charles
Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil!
Meir, Golda
A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send checks to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.
Frye, Northrop
A bad review is even less important than whether it is raining in Patagonia.
Murdoch, Iris
No sadder proof can be given of a person's own tiny stature, than their disbelief in great people.
Carlyle, Thomas
No degree of dullness can safeguard a work against the determination of critics to find it fascinating.
Harold Rosenberg
Some people are always critical of vague statements. I tend rather to be critical of precise statements; they are the only ones which can correctly be labeled wrong.
Smullyan, Raymond
Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea.
Updike, John
Nature, when she invented, manufactured, and patented her authors, contrived to make critics out of the chips that were left.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
There's a fine line between participation and mockery.
Adams, Scott
It is healthier, in any case, to write for the adults one's children will become than for the children one's mature critics often are.
Walker, Alice
Neither praise or blame is the object of true criticism. Justly to discriminate, firmly to establish, wisely to prescribe, and honestly to award. These are the true aims and duties of criticism.
Simms, William Gilmore
Honest criticism means nothing: what one wants is unrestrained passion, fire for fire.
Miller, Henry
Never make the mistake of assuming the critters will beat a path to your door.
Mascotte, John P.
The whole effort of a sincere man is to erect his personal impressions into laws.
Gourmont, Remy De
You should not say it is not good. You should say you do not like it; and then, you know, you're perfectly safe.
Whistler, James Mcneill
Criticism of others is futile and if you indulge in it often you should be warned that it can be fatal to your career.
Carnegie, Dale
They condemn what they do not understand.
Cicero, Marcus T.
It is much easier to be critical than to be correct.
Disraeli, Benjamin
A film is just like a muffin. You make it. You put it on the table. One person might say, Oh, I don't like it. One might say it's the best muffin ever made. One might say it's an awful muffin. It's hard for me to say. It's for me to make the muffin.
Washington, Denzel
The television critic, whatever his pretensions, does not labor in the same vineyard as those he criticizes; his grapes are all sour.
Raphael, Frederic
The person of analytic or critical intellect finds something ridiculous in everything. The person of synthetic or constructive intellect, in almost nothing.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Self-laudation abounds among the unpolished, but nothing can stamp a man more sharply as ill-bred.
Buxton, Charles
Let us consider the critic, therefore, as a discoverer of discoveries.
Kundera, Milan
Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost how it feels about dogs.
Christopher Hampton
There has never been a statue erected to honor a critic.
Ziglar, Zig
Blame is safer than praise.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
A good drama critic is one who perceives what is happening in the theatre of his time. A great drama critic also perceives what is not happening.
Tynan, Kenneth
A wise skepticism is the first attribute of a good critic.
Lowell, James Russell
Be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath.
Bible
On an occasion of this kind it becomes more than a moral duty to speak one's mind. It becomes a pleasure.
Wilde, Oscar
As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.
James, Clive
Every writer is necessarily a critic -- that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on. The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg -- nine-tenths of him is under water.
Wilder, Thornton
Did some more sober critics come abroad? If wrong, I smil'd; if right, I kiss'd the rod.
Pope, Alexander
The rule in carving holds good as to criticism; never cut with a knife what you can cut with a spoon.
Buxton, Charles
Give me the critic bred in Nature's school, who neither talks by rote, nor thinks by rule; who feeling's honest dictates still obeys, and dares, without a precedent, to praise.
Shee, Sir Martin Archer
The best criticism doesn't trap an employee or child in a dead end. It gives them an escape route.
Criticism, that fine flower of personal expression in the garden of letters.
Conrad, Joseph
