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.
-- Abraham Lincoln
1809-1865, Sixteenth
President of the USA
The
easiest thing a human being can do is to criticize
another human being.
-- Lynn M. Little
Critics are sentinels in the grand army of letters,
stationed at the corners of newspapers and reviews,
to challenge every new author.
-- Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow
1819-1892, American
Poet
Doubtless criticism was originally benignant,
pointing out the beauties of a work rather that its
defects. The passions of men have made it malignant,
as a bad heart of Procreates turned the bed, the
symbol of repose, into an instrument of torture.
-- Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow
1819-1892, American
Poet
