There is one way to handle the ignorant and malicious critic. Ignore him.

It is usually best to be generous with praise, but cautious with criticism.

Criticism is the disapproval of people, not for having faults, but having faults different from your own.

It is strange that we do not temper our resentment of criticism with a thought for our many faults which have escaped us.

Find expression for a sorrow and it will become dear to you. Find expression for a joy, and you will intensify its ecstasy.

We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our fears.

A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner, neither do uninterrupted prosperity and success qualify for usefulness and happiness. The storms of adversity, like those of the ocean, rouse the faculties, and excite the invention, prudence, skill and fortitude or the voyager. The martyrs of ancient times, in bracing their minds to outward calamities, acquired a loftiness of purpose and a moral heroism worth a lifetime of softness and security.

Successful men follow the same advice they prescribe for others.

Age withers only the outside.

You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea

Where ambition ends happiness begins.

The best answer to answer to anger is silence.

The size of a man is measured by the size of the thing that makes him angry.

A lot of good arguments are spoiled by some fool who knows what he is talking about.

People who know the least always argue the most.
