“My God, rich people have the time to praise You if they want to, but the poor people are so busy, accept their work as praise because, my God, they don’t have time for everything.”
“No praise, no blame. Just so.”
“I do not confer praise or blame: I accept. I am the measure of all things. I am the center of the world.”
“Every development is first rejected, then skeptically accepted, next gradually embraced, and at last abundantly praised. Let's put it straight: it's a human trait.”
“I love criticism just so long as it's unqualified praise. ”
