Criticism Quotations
Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
Winston Churchill
I am sorry to think that you do not get a man's most effective criticism until you provoke him. Severe truth is expressed with some bitterness.
Henry David Thoreau
There is no just and serene criticism as yet.
Henry David Thoreau
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public.
Theodore Roosevelt
You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.
John Wooden
The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.
