Criticism and Betrayal - Quotable Quotes - YMMV
How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct.
Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881), speech, January 24, 1860

Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do.
Dale Carnegie

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 (1884 - 1962)

Criticism is prejudice made plausible.
H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)

Pay no attention to what the critics say... Remember, a statue has never been set up in honor of a critic!
Jean Sibelius (1865 - 1957), quoted in Bengt de Torne "Sibelius: A Close-Up" 1937

Against criticism a man can neither protest nor defend himself; he must act in spite of it, and then it will gradually yield to him.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Criticism comes easier than craftsmanship.
Zeuxis (~400 BC), from Pliny the Elder, Natural History

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Eleanor Roosevelt, 'This Is My Story,' 1937

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.
Eleanor Roosevelt

I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision.
Eleanor Roosevelt

If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault; if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.
Eleanor Roosevelt
