"The individual must not merely wait and criticize, he must defend the cause the best he can. The fate of the world will be such as the world deserves."
Albert Einstein
"The physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations; for he himself knows best and feels most surely where the shoe pinches.... he must try to make clear in his own mind just how far the concepts which he uses are justified... The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking."
Albert Einstein
"There are four kinds of Homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy."
Ambrose Gwinett Bierce
"Modesty and unselfishness--these are the virtues which men praise--and pass by."
André Maurois
"When a person identifies himself with a group his critical faculties are diminished and his passions enhanced by a kind of emotive resonance. The individual is not a killer, the group is, and by identifying with it, the individual becomes one. This is the infernal dialect reflected in man's history."
Arthur Koestler
"Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain, and most fools do."
Benjamin Franklin
"How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct."
Benjamin Disraeli
"It is much easier to be critical than to be correct."
Benjamin Disraeli
"Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves."
Brendan Francis Behan
"Children have more need of models than of critics."
Carolyn Coats
"What kind of man would live a life without daring? Is life so sweet that we should criticize men that seek adventure? Is there a better way to die?"
Charles Augustus Lindbergh
"Any coward can sit in his home and criticize a pilot for flying into a mountain in a fog. But I would rather, by far, die on a mountainside than in bed. What kind of man would live where there is no daring? And is life so dear that we should blame men for dying in adventure? Is there a better way to die?"
Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr.
"Paranoids are people, too; they have their own problems. It's easy to criticize, but if everybody hated you, you'd be paranoid too."
D. J. Hicks
"Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain -- and most fools do."
Dale Carnegie
"Virtue is praised but hated. People run away from it, for it is ice-cold and in this world you must keep your feet warm."
Denis Diderot
"He who praises everybody, praises nobody."
Dr. Samuel Johnson
"To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing."
Elbert Hubbard
"To escape criticism: do nothing, say nothing, be nothing."
Elbert Hubbard
"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
"Those who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticize."
Elizabeth Harrison
