To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.

To criticize is to appreciate, to appropriate, to take intellectual possession, to establish in fine a relation with the criticized thing and to make it one's own.

If we judge ourselves only by our aspirations and everyone else only their conduct we shall soon reach a very false conclusion.

The day you stop caring what other people think of you, is the day your life begins.

Being aware of a single shortcoming within yourself is far more useful than being aware of a thousand in someone else!

You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.

The lion doesn't turn around when the small dog barks.

A good joke is the one ultimate and sacred thing which cannot be criticized.

I have yet to find a 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.
