"Listen to everything a man has to say about what he knows, but don't let him advise you about what he doesn't know. And usually he doesn't know too much about what's best for you."
-- Samuel Amalu

"People ask you for criticism, but they only want praise."
-- W. Somerset Maughm

"The nobler sort of man emphasizes the good qualities in others, and does not accentuate the bad. The inferior does the reverse."
-- Confucius, Chinese Philosopher

"A critic is a man who knows the way but can't drive the car."
-- Kenneth Tynan

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
-- Theodore Roosevelt

"Pay no attention to what critics say. A statue has never been erected in honor of a critic."
-- Jean Sibelius, Finnish composer (1865-1957)

"The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by obvious realities. We need men and women who can dream of things that never were..."
-- John F. Kennedy (1917-1963), Former American President

"Unlike the skeptic, the positive thinker is one who, when he sees the handwriting on the wall, does not think it is a forgery!"
-- Ken Bossone, President of the World Positive Thinkers Club

"I have yet to find the man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism."
-- Charles Schwab, Industrialist
