9 Great Quotes on Criticism

by HENRIK EDBERG. 

Here are 9 quotes on criticism that I like. Stay tuned for more on criticism on Monday.

Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes.
Elvis Presley

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man’s growth without destroying his roots.
Frank A. Clark

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt

Before you go and criticize the younger generation, just remember who raised them.
Unknown

The artist doesn’t have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don’t have the time to read reviews.
William Faulkner

Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.
Dale Carnegie

When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical.
Unknown

I have yet to find the man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism.
Charles Schwab

Criticism is an indirect form of self-boasting.
Emmet Fox

The Code of A Honorable Sire

Without the strict observance of the fundamental code of honor, no man, no matter how “polished”, can be considered a gentleman. The honor of a gentleman requires the inviolability of his word and the incorruptibility of his principles. He is the descendant of a knight, the crusader, he is the defender of the defenseless or the champion – or is not a gentleman at all.

A gentleman does not discuss his family affairs in public or with acquaintances

Does not speak more casually about his wife or girlfriend

Does not go to a lady’s house if he is affected by alcohol

Does not express anger or exhibit fear, hatred, embarrassment, ardor, or hilarity in public

Never discusses the merits or demerits of a lady

Does not mention brand names, exactly as he avoids the mention of what things cost

Does not borrow money to a friend except in dire need

Money borrowed is a debt of honor and should be repaid as promptly as possible

Does not display wealth, money, or possessions

Does not put his manner on or off whether in a club or in a ballroom

He treats people with courtesy whatever social position they may be

Does not slap strangers at the back, so much as to lay a finger to a lady

Does not “lick the boots” of those above him or “kick the faces” of those below him in the social ladder

Does not take advantage of another’s helplessness nor assumes that no gentleman will take advantage of him

A GENTLEMAN respects the reserves of others but demands that others respect those which are his.
