Is it too much to expect from the schools that they train their students not only to interpret but to criticize; that is, to discriminate what is sound from error and falsehood, to suspend judgement if they are not convinced, or to judge with reason if they agree or disagree? ~ Mortimer J. Adler
Criticize quotes by Mortimer J. Adler
Almost half of the Turkish population believes it is not legitimate to criticize the government. Interestingly, this correlates with the number of supporters of Erdogan's government. ~ Elif Safak
Criticize quotes by Elif Safak
Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Criticize quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Always be ready for criticism for there shall always be people who shall be ready always to criticize you. The positive lesson you learn from your critics, is the most important thing which matter and not just the matter! ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Criticize quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
I had to learn to dismiss people who would criticize me based on nothing, but I also had to learn not to believe the people who would compliment me and think I was great based on nothing. And that led me to have a very, very strong sense of myself and my strengths. ~ Justin Trudeau
Criticize quotes by Justin Trudeau
When it first shoots up out of the earth, we don't condemn it as immature and underdeveloped, nor do we criticize the buds for not being open when they appear. We stand in wonder at the process taking place, and give the plant the care it needs at each stage of its development. ~ Paulo Coelho
Criticize quotes by Paulo Coelho
I can criticize your religion all I want, and you can criticize mine. I don't like this whole climate of, 'You can't ever say anything bad about the group I'm in, cause every group is untouchable.' We can all criticize each other and engage in debate all we want. ~ Kathy Griffin
Criticize quotes by Kathy Griffin
If I could summarize my suggestions to parents over the past twenty-five years it would be: worry less, criticize less, preach less, listen more, have more fun, be more honest with your own feelings, develop your own joys and friendships, and don't sweat the small stuff (which is nearly everything). The goal is not to be a perfect parent, because no such thing exists. The hope is to be a good enough parent so that your child leaves home a responsible adult who can take care of him or herself. ~ Charlotte Sophia Kasl
Criticize quotes by Charlotte Sophia Kasl
Best always to praise rather than criticize. ~ Kate Atkinson
Criticize quotes by Kate Atkinson
You know what I hate about people who criticize you? They - they criticize what you say but they never give you credit for how loud you say it. ~ Stephen Colbert
Criticize quotes by Stephen Colbert
Humans spend more time finding ways to fight and criticize who they consider a threat than actually learning how to overcome that threat. ~ Luis Marques
Criticize quotes by Luis Marques
It is easy to criticize, particularly in a political season. But to lead is something altogether different. The leader must live in the real world of the price that might be paid for the goal that has been set. ~ Norm Coleman
Criticize quotes by Norm Coleman
Anyone can criticize. It is important to be a person who can appreciate and show the way to betterment. ~ Debasish Mridha
Criticize quotes by Debasish Mridha
My photographs at best hold only a small length, but through them I would suggest and criticize and illuminate and try to give compassionate understanding. ~ W. Eugene Smith
Criticize quotes by W. Eugene Smith
when you find out who your not allowed to criticize, then you will realize who is in control". ~ Voltairine De Cleyre
Criticize quotes by Voltairine De Cleyre
Pride became this dogma which meant you couldn't criticize anything gay - if you were the least bit critical of gay culture or people or any gay person doing any gay thing, that was an insufficient display of pride. You were suffering from internalized homophobia. As opposed to external homophobia. ~ Dan Savage
Criticize quotes by Dan Savage
But communes are a good idea. People criticize communes because they don't last, but why in hell, will you tell me, should they last? Why does an order have to become a permanent order? Maybe we should live one way for some years, then try another. ~ Marilyn French
Criticize quotes by Marilyn French
Sometimes managers are a little shy to criticize another manager or another operation. ~ Tom Douglas
Criticize quotes by Tom Douglas
We don't criticize. Criticism is an enemy. You've got to make loving, positive suggestions. ~ Dorothy Sarnoff
Criticize quotes by Dorothy Sarnoff
Sadly, because of the enormous gap between rich and poor, some mothers can afford helpers, but many can't. Those who can would be kinder to refrain from criticizing other women. ~ Erica Jong
Criticize quotes by Erica Jong
The name of the artist is more important to them than the quality of the work ... People criticize a picture by their ear ~ Okakura Kakuzo
Criticize quotes by Okakura Kakuzo
I can't curse those who don't believe as I do. I can't express hate or disdain for those who criticize what I hold dear. I can't outshout, bully, or taunt them. I can't exercise the liberty of free speech because I answer to a higher law.
I answer to the Word of God. ~ Lori Hatcher
Criticize quotes by Lori Hatcher
I was once invited to the circuit court as an expert; during a break, one of my fellow experts drew my attention to the prosecutor's rude treatment of the defendants, among whom were two women of the intelligentsia. I don't think I was exaggerating in the least when I answered my colleague that this treatment was no more rude than that displayed towards each other by the authors of serious articles. Indeed, it is such rude treatment that one cannot speak of it without pain. Either they treat each other and the authors they criticize with excessive deference, forgetting all dignity, or the reverse, they handle them with greater boldness than I use in these notes, and in my thoughts, towards my future son-in-law Gnekker. ~ Anton Chekhov
Criticize quotes by Anton Chekhov
The less affluent must be able, at least in theory, to catch up with the more affluent. Hence politics remains without substance, a realm from which the crucial dimensions of life, the core values, are excluded.42 Who, then, can criticize this situation? ~ Morris Berman
Criticize quotes by Morris Berman
Men can be divided into 2 groups: one that goes ahead and achieves something, and one that comes after and criticizes. ~ Seneca The Younger
Criticize quotes by Seneca The Younger
Those who criticize. They desire our blood, not our pain. But still I must achieve. I must seek truth in all things. I must endure for the Power I was sent forth. For the world. For the children. But have mercy, for Ive been bleeding a long time now. ~ Michael Jackson
Criticize quotes by Michael Jackson
We can't in any way criticize or at least indict or impeach administration [of Democratic presidents] for doing what they did. ~ Barack Obama
Criticize quotes by Barack Obama
Criticizing himself again, Sidgwick writes: I am not an original man: and I think less of my own thoughts every day. ~ Derek Parfit
Criticize quotes by Derek Parfit
A lot of people criticize the primaries, but I think they are absolutely essential to the education of the President of the United States. ~ Pierre Salinger
Criticize quotes by Pierre Salinger
She was remembering what it was like when you broke up with someone. Conversations became so hopelessly tangled. You had to be polite and precise. You couldn't safely criticize anymore, because you didn't have the right. You'd lost your immunity. ~ Liane Moriarty
Criticize quotes by Liane Moriarty
We are equal by fault, but never equal in acceptance. ~ Anthony Liccione
Criticize quotes by Anthony Liccione
My dissatisfaction with acting has nothing to do with being uncomfortable or vulnerable or feeling like people are going to criticize me. That's not the problem. ~ Joaquin Phoenix
Criticize quotes by Joaquin Phoenix
A man may have the right to criticize the Government, but I'm hanged if he has a right to brazenly use his free speech to attack our way of life. More and more we see men in science and profession and academy abusing their privileges of expression by crying that their real liberties are threatened by patriotism. Is patriotism above these men? Do they have a right to express their views, to carry on their work, to be free men unless they are patriotic to our society? I say no sir! Loyalty is one of the prerogatives of freedom ~ James Aldridge
Criticize quotes by James Aldridge
Our normal tendency is to feel dissatisfied and to criticize our body, speech, and mind - My body is out of shape; my voice is unpleasant; my mind is confused. - We are so caught up in this pointless, neurotic habit of criticism that we disparage others as well as ourselves. This is extremely damaging. ~ Thubten Yeshe
Criticize quotes by Thubten Yeshe
The greatest barrier to own own healing is not the pain, sorrow or violence inflicted upon us as children. Our greatest hindrance is our ongoing capacity to judge, to criticize, and to bring tremendous harm to ourselves. If we can harden our heart against ourselves and meet our most tender feelings with anger and condemnation, we simultaneously armor our heart against the possibility of gentleness, love and healing. ~ Wayne Muller
Criticize quotes by Wayne Muller
Tony Morrison said, 'Can't I love what I criticize, criticize what I love.' ~ Michael Eric Dyson
Criticize quotes by Michael Eric Dyson
However much some journalists may criticize me, I know that I look, feel, and behave several decades younger than my actual age, and much of that is because I believe you are what you think you are. This is called positive affirmation, and it's a really strong tool. ~ Joan Collins
Criticize quotes by Joan Collins
Burke's admonition
"The effect of liberty to individuals is, that they may do what they please: We ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations"
never seems to have occurred to Hayek. The Arnoldian ideal of the disinterested intellectual willing to criticize one side and then the other in order to create balance and counteract the one-sidedness that led toward fanaticism: That, too, was as alien to Hayek as it had been to Marcuse. If it was partisanship that led Hayek to push forward intellectually to new insights, it was also partisanship that kept him from a balanced and rounded philosophy.
Perhaps a familiarity with "the best that has been thought and said" about the market will aid us in obtaining a more disinterested and informed perspective. Such a perspective might well begin with Hayek's insights. But it would by no means end with them. p. 387 ~ Jerry Z. Muller
Criticize quotes by Jerry Z. Muller
Bless your critics for their honesty. They do not criticize you to be a blessing to you, but the end product may be the same. ~ Calvin Miller
Criticize quotes by Calvin Miller
Believe while others are doubting. Plan while others are playing. Study while others are sleeping. Decide while others are delaying. Prepare while others are daydreaming. Begin while others are procrastinating. Work while others are wishing. Save while others are wasting. Listen while others are talking. Smile while others are frowning. Commend while others are criticizing. Persist while others are quitting. ~ John C. Maxwell
Criticize quotes by John C. Maxwell
Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their marks
Made everything from toy guns that sparks
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
That not much
Is really sacred.

While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the President of the United States
Sometimes must have
To stand naked.

An' though the rules of the road have been lodged
It's only people's games that you got to dodge
And it's alright, Ma, I can make it.

Advertising signs that con you
Into thinking you're the one
That can do what's never been done
That can win what's never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you.

Although the masters make the rules
For the wise men and the fools
I got nothing, Ma, to live up to.

For them that must obey authority
That they do not respect in any degree
Who despite their jobs, their destinies
Speak jealously of them that are free
Cultivate their flowers to be
Nothing more than something
They invest in.

While some on principles baptized
To strict party platforms ties
Social clubs in drag disguise
Outsiders they can freely criticize
Tell nothing except who to idolize
And then say God Bl ~ Bob Dylan
Criticize quotes by Bob Dylan
Criticism is something that you have to take, regardless of what you do. Even if you go out there and try to make the most vanilla, non-offensive TV show possible, people are going to criticize you for doing that. It's just part of the game. ~ Thomas Sadoski
Criticize quotes by Thomas Sadoski
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you'll be a mile from them, and you'll have their shoes ~ Jack Handy
Criticize quotes by Jack Handy
If someone is going to criticize what you've written and you believe in what you've written then you should respond. ~ H. G. Bissinger
Criticize quotes by H. G. Bissinger
Interpreting criticism as a subjective opinion with a solution instead of a personal
rebuke will help you grow, build better relationships, become more successful. ~ Dr.prem Jagyasi
Criticize quotes by Dr.prem Jagyasi
I do not criticize people who take a public stand on human rights issues. I express my respect for them. But some people are more influential without a public confrontation. ~ Henry A. Kissinger
Criticize quotes by Henry A. Kissinger
When conformity is required, as it is in Christianity, what are the results? To begin with, the sacrifice of truth inevitably follows. One can be committed to conformity or one can be committed to truth, but not both. The pursuit of truth requires the unrestricted use of one's mind
the moral freedom to question, to examine evidence, to consider opposing viewpoints, to criticize, to accept as true only that which can be demonstrated
regardless whether one's conclusions conform to a particular creed. ~ George H. Smith
Criticize quotes by George H. Smith
A rationalist is simply someone for whom it is more important to learn than to be proved right; someone who is willing to learn from others - not by simply taking over another's opinions, but by gladly allowing others to criticize his ideas and by gladly criticizing the ideas of others ~ Karl Popper
Criticize quotes by Karl Popper
Today everybody is talking about the fact that we live in one world; because of globalization, we are all part of the same planet. They talk that way, but do they mean it? We should remind them that the words of the Declaration [of Independence] apply not only to people in this country, but also to people all over the world. People everywhere have the same right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When the government becomes destructive of that, then it is patriotic to dissent and to criticize - to do what we always praise and call heroic when we look upon the dissenters and critics in totalitarian countries who dare to speak out. ~ Howard Zinn
Criticize quotes by Howard Zinn
A loving wife will do anything for her husband except stop criticizing him and trying to improve him. ~ J.B. Priestley
Criticize quotes by J.B. Priestley
We are not in a position to criticize anyone. The existence of enemies means for us that our friendliness has not been sufficient enough. ~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Criticize quotes by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
If people want to criticize a performance, that I understand. I think that's important. ~ Juno Temple
Criticize quotes by Juno Temple
I don't like to criticize music and I had a really hard time picking out the song I hate for this because I end up seeing and working with musicians all the time. ~ Margaret Cho
Criticize quotes by Margaret Cho
The Conservative party found him an embarrassment because he was apt to criticize the party leader in public, the Liberals naturally wanted to defeat him, and the newspapers were out to get him. It was a dreadful campaign on his part, for he lost his head, bullied his electors when he should have wooed them, and got into a wrangle with a large newspaper, which he threatened to sue for libel. He was defeated on election day so decisively that it was obviously a personal rather than a political rejection. ~ Robertson Davies
Criticize quotes by Robertson Davies
I started making houses for ants because I thought they needed somewhere to live. Then I made them shoes and hats. It was a fantasy world I escaped to where my dyslexia didn't hold me back and my teachers couldn't criticize me. That's how my career as a micro-sculptor began. ~ Willard Wigan
Criticize quotes by Willard Wigan
When I was young, Monsieur," he said, "I used to think a lot about God. But He seems to have grown thinner with the years. He is still in that cornfield you painted, and in the sunset by Montmajour, but when I think about men ... and the world they have made ... " "I know, Roulin, but I feel more and more that we must not judge God by this world. It's just a study that didn't come off. What can you do in a study that has gone wrong, if you are fond of the artist? You do not find much to criticize; you hold your tongue. But you have a right to ask for something better." "Yes, that's it," exclaimed Roulin, "something just a tiny bit better." "We should have to see some other work by the same hand before we judge him. This world was evidently botched up in a hurry on one of his bad days, when the artist did not have his wits about him. ~ Irving Stone
Criticize quotes by Irving Stone
While I was studying film at the Academy, the problems started. I wasn't a political activist directly in the time of Saddam [Hussein], because the dictator was so cruel and brutal that no one could criticize or complain. I felt futile and empty. The only solution in Iraq was to run away. ~ Hassan Blasim
Criticize quotes by Hassan Blasim
In a country where people are afraid of criticizing the government, many things must be going horrible! In such countries people must know that a society of cowards will always be remembered as a society of honourless people! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Criticize quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
People who read mainly the Grounding and the Critique often criticize Kant for having his head in the clouds and for not being convincingly capable of dealing with concrete cases. A reading of the Metaphysics of Morals will show anyone how unfounded such criticisms are. ~ Immanuel Kant
Criticize quotes by Immanuel Kant
You Republicans are the arsonists who burned down our national home. Now you have the nerve to criticize the 'architect' America just hired - President Obama - to rebuild from the ashes. ~ Frank Schaeffer
Criticize quotes by Frank Schaeffer
All throughout Scripture we see Jesus loving people whom others deemed foul, broken, dirty, and unworthy...People may criticize you for giving your time and attention to people who are ostracized or considered permanently broken. They may say it's not safe, that they're not worth your time, and that these people gave up the right to be treated well when they made their bad decision. They said that to Jesus too. But while many self-proclaimed followers of God sat back and criticized the openness of Jesus' love for people, he called them out for their lack of it: (Mark 2:14-15). ~ Jarrid Wilson
Criticize quotes by Jarrid Wilson
I think that's what changed you, Beth. Your job. The film critic. Critics are parasites. They live off other people's creativity. They bring nothing into this world. They're like barren women who steal other people's babies in grocery store parking lots. Those who can't do, teach, and those who can't teach, criticize. ~ Rainbow Rowell
Criticize quotes by Rainbow Rowell
When a man returned from the field and we'd look at the work, we'd criticize each other very genuinely and never offensively. And we would avoid all tricks, angle shots were just horrible to us. ~ Ben Shahn
Criticize quotes by Ben Shahn
Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you. ~ William Arthur Ward
Criticize quotes by William Arthur Ward
One of the hallmarks of our tendency to sin is that we feel the need to criticize, we take pleasure in gossiping, and we feel qualified to make judgments, often with very little information. ~ Adam Hamilton
Criticize quotes by Adam Hamilton
I criticize the NFL in many ways, but I think it's made great strides. I think college basketball, great strides. College football means so much to alumni, doesn't it? It sort of represents the school. It's when you go back; it's at the beginning of the school year. ~ Frank Deford
Criticize quotes by Frank Deford
I used to criticize my body for everything I felt it wasn't. Now, I praise my body for what it has carried me through. ~ Bethanee Epifani J. Bryant
Criticize quotes by Bethanee Epifani J. Bryant
Colleagues should take care of each other, have fun, celebrate success, learn by failure, look for reasons to praise not to criticize, communicate freely and respect each other. ~ Richard Branson
Criticize quotes by Richard Branson
The chilling thought occurred to me that breaking up with someone you love to criticize might be the only way to save yourself from becoming unlovable ~ Bob Smith
Criticize quotes by Bob Smith
Writing is the only art form where a good number of the artists make a slice of their living criticizing one another in print, in public. ~ Christian Bauman
Criticize quotes by Christian Bauman
people tease or criticize you. ~ Tom McIntyre
Criticize quotes by Tom McIntyre
A critic knows more than the author he criticizes, or just as much, or at least somewhat less. ~ Henry Edward Manning
Criticize quotes by Henry Edward Manning
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. ~ Henry James
Criticize quotes by Henry James
The boy nodded, unperturbed that his father, his mentor, could always find fault, even in success. The boy knew that his beloved father did so only because it forced him to strive for perfection. And in a dangerous galaxy, perfection allowed for survival. The boy loved his father even more for caring enough to criticize. ~ R.A. Salvatore
Criticize quotes by R.A. Salvatore
I do not criticize religion as such, but I criticize the concept and the definition of "religion" - as I said in Genealogies. ~ Talal Asad
Criticize quotes by Talal Asad
Those who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticize. ~ Elizabeth Harrison
Criticize quotes by Elizabeth Harrison
Did you know you could kill a person with a hatpin?" she said.
"I did not," he said. "Do you speak from experience? Have you murdered anybody? Not that I'd dream of criticizing. ~ Loretta Chase
Criticize quotes by Loretta Chase
Criticize on defense and encourage on offense. ~ John Brady
Criticize quotes by John Brady
Mother said: "Isn't it better for the press to be able to criticize everyone equally?" "A wonderful idea," he said. "But you socialists live in a dream world. We practical men know that Germany cannot live on ideas. People must have bread and shoes and coal." "I quite agree," Mother said. "I could use more coal myself. But I want Carla and Erik to grow up as citizens of a free country." "You overrate freedom. It doesn't make people happy. They prefer leadership. I want Werner and Frieda and poor Axel to grow up in a country that is proud, and disciplined, and united." "And in order to be united, we need young thugs in brown shirts to beat up elderly Jewish shopkeepers? ~ Ken Follett
Criticize quotes by Ken Follett
We have to be able to criticise what we love, to say what we have to say 'cause if your not trying to make something better, than as far as I can tell, you are just in the way. ~ Ani DiFranco
Criticize quotes by Ani DiFranco
Happy Wednesday! Practice compassion. Lift others. Learn to encourage rather than criticize. You'll feel better when you help others feel better. ~ Tracey Edmonds
Criticize quotes by Tracey Edmonds
Republicans rarely criticize Obama for lack of empathy - in part because liberals have traditionally been seen as standing up for the weak and the vulnerable. Conservatives can be just as empathetic. But they believe that, in most cases, it's not government's role to be the primary dispenser of empathy. ~ Gary Bauer
Criticize quotes by Gary Bauer
Proud folk separate themselves from others, judging them ... To criticize others we must hold them from us, at arm's length so to speak. And then before you know where you are you've pushed them away and you're the poorer. ~ Elizabeth Goudge
Criticize quotes by Elizabeth Goudge
The days passed. Success went fizzily to Bernard's head, and in the process completely reconciled him (as any good intoxicant should do) to a world which, up till then, he had found very unsatisfactory. In so far as it recognized him as important, the order of things was good. But, reconciled by his success he yet refused to forgo the privilege of criticizing this order. For the act of criticizing heightened his sense of importance, made him feel larger. Moreover, he did genuinely believe that there were things to criticize. (At the same time, he genuinely liked being a success and having all the girls he wanted.) Before those who now, for the sake of the Savage, paid their court to him, Bernard would parade a carping unorthodoxy. He was politely listened to. But behind his back people shook their heads. 'That young man will come to a bad end,' they said, prophesying the more confidently in that they themselves would in due course personally see to it that the end was bad. 'He won't find another Savage to help him out a second time,' they said. Meanwhile, however, there was the first Savage; they were polite. And because they were polite, Bernard felt positively gigantic - gigantic and at the same time light with elation, lighter than air. ~ Aldous Huxley
Criticize quotes by Aldous Huxley
It's absurd that we're so quick to criticize Muslims for being fundamentalist when Christians can be just as extreme and fanatical and frightening. ~ David O. Russell
Criticize quotes by David O. Russell
NO reader has ANY obligation to an author, whether it be to leave a review or to write a "constructive" one. I put out a product. You are consumers of that product. Since when does that mean you have to kiss my ass? Hey, I like Pop-Tarts and eat them a few times a year; since when does that mean I'm obligated to support Kellogg's in any way except legally purchasing the Pop-Tarts before I eat them? I wasn't aware that purchasing and consuming a product meant I was under some sort of fucking thrall in which I'm only allowed to either praise the Pop-Tart (which to be honest isn't hard, especially the S'mores flavor) or, if I am going to criticize a flavor, offer a specific and detailed analysis as to why, phrased in as inoffensive and gentle a manner as possible so as not to upset the gentle people at Kellogg's."
[Something in the Water? (blog post; January 9, 2012)] ~ Stacia Kane
Criticize quotes by Stacia Kane
Most people ultimately realize that they can acquire things, change their partner or other things, consume more and still it doesn't work. I'm not criticizing any of this. ~ Isha Judd
Criticize quotes by Isha Judd
Don't be too scared to criticize youself ~ Thabiso Monkoe
Criticize quotes by Thabiso Monkoe
I'm a Muslim, we come from a Muslim community and we are very critical of western or American foreign policy. So if I've got the right and if other Muslims have got the right to criticize ... likewise everyone else has also got the right to criticize everything else. ~ Maajid Nawaz
Criticize quotes by Maajid Nawaz
As Jack Handey advised in one of his "Deep Thoughts" on Saturday Night Live, before you criticize people, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. ~ Adam M. Grant
Criticize quotes by Adam M. Grant
She liked him too much to marry him, that was the point; something told her that she should not be satisfied, and to inflict upon a man who offered so much a wife with a tendency to criticize would be a peculiarly discreditable act. ~ Henry James
Criticize quotes by Henry James
The critic said that once a year he read Kim; and he read Kim, it was plain, at whim: not to teach, not to criticize, just for love - he read it, as Kipling wrote it, just because he liked to, wanted to, couldn't help himself. To him it wasn't a means to a lecture or article, it was an end; he read it not for anything he could get out of it, but for itself. And isn't this what the work of art demands of us? The work of art, Rilke said, says to us always: You must change your life. It demands of us that we too see things as ends, not as means - that we too know them and love them for their own sake. This change is beyond us, perhaps, during the active, greedy, and powerful hours of our lives; but duringthe contemplative and sympathetic hours of our reading, our listening, our looking, it is surely within our power, if we choose to make it so, if we choose to let one part of our nature follow its natural desires. So I say to you, for a closing sentence, Read at whim! read at whim! ~ Randall Jarrell
Criticize quotes by Randall Jarrell
The Middle East is literally going up in flames, as is California, and Katrina's problems haven't been solved, and Congress' response is to criticize Federal judges. ~ Alcee Hastings
Criticize quotes by Alcee Hastings
There is no point in criticizing readers for migrating online. You have to follow them and offer them something new. ~ Mathias Dopfner
Criticize quotes by Mathias Dopfner
Thus, evolution has shaped our brains so that we are hardwired to suffer psychologically: to compare, evaluate, and criticize ourselves, to focus on what we're lacking, to rapidly become dissatisfied with what we have, and to imagine all sorts of frightening scenarios, most of which will never happen. No wonder humans find it hard to be happy! ~ Russ Harris
Criticize quotes by Russ Harris
I am at a crossroads; I have always been against armed opposition ... I have chosen civil disobedience. But I will apologize to my people if there are funerals coming out of prisons. I will criticize myself and I won't be the mayor of Diyarbakir. ~ Osman Baydemir
Criticize quotes by Osman Baydemir
Everything you do with Palestinians in Israel someone will criticize. ~ Eran Kolirin
Criticize quotes by Eran Kolirin
What does it mean to love someone with all your heart? It means to love with all your emotional feelings and with all your devotion. Surely when you love your wife with all your heart, you cannot demean her, criticize her, find fault with her, or abuse her by words, sullen behavior, or actions. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Criticize quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
The sad irony is that the views of the liberty-first advocates are more likely to lead to socialism or totalitarianism than those of the people they criticize for being socialists. ~ Howard I. Schwartz
Criticize quotes by Howard I. Schwartz
Listen more to the one who criticizes you and less to
the one who praises you. Learn from them and do
something about it. ~ Paul Kagame
Criticize quotes by Paul Kagame
