“I like criticism, but it must be my way.”

“you must learn to live as I do - in the face of constant criticism, opposition and censure. That, sir, is the English way.”

“There must be courage; there must be no awe. There must be criticism, for humor, to my mind, is encapsulated in criticism. There must be a disciplined eye and a wild mind...There must be a magnificent disregard of your reader, for if he cannot follow you, there is nothing you can do about it.”

“I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among my people the greatest asset I possess, and the way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement.THerei s nothing else that so kills the ambitions ofa person as criticism from superiors. I never criticize anyone. I believe in giving a person incentive to work. So I am anxious to praise but loath to find fault. If I like anything, I am hearty in my appreciation and lavish in my praise”

“I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.”

“I felt like some part of my soul was ripped out and put under a microscope for criticizing.”
