Philosopher, Critic, Writer
In my
wide association in life, meeting with many and
great men in various parts of the world, I have yet
to find the man, however great or exalted his
station, who did not do better work and put forth
greater effort under a spirit of approval than he
would ever do under a spirit of criticism.
