Censure
It is folly for an eminent man
to think of escaping censure,
and a weakness to be affected
with it. All the illustrious persons
of antiquity, and indeed of every
age in the world, have passed
through this fiery persecution.
?Joseph Addison
I find the pain of a little censure,
even when it is unfounded,
is more acute than
the pleasure of much praise.
?Thomas Jefferson
He who would acquire fame
must not show himself afraid
of censure. The dread of
censure is the death of genius.
?William Gilmore Simms
The censure of those who are opposed
to us, is the highest commendation
that can be given us.
?Seigneur De Saint-Evremond
Give every man your ear, but few
thy voice. Take each man's censure,
but reserve thy judgment.
?William Shakespeare
Beware of one who flatters unduly;
he will also censure unjustly.
?Arabian Proverb
