“The worm that destroys you is the temptation to agree with your critics, to get their approval.”
“We hope you have not made the error of supposing that to criticize is always to disagree. (...) To agree is just as much of an exercise of critical judgment on your part as to disagree.”
“...Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed... ”
“The jealousy and evilness are like worms, that destroy the soul.”
“Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.”
“The early bird gets the worm but the late bird doesn't even get the late worm.”
