Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
A sneer is the weapon of the weak.
James Russell Lowell
In a kind of backwards version of Odysseus and the Sirens, you can tie yourself to the mast and listen to the nastiest, most suicide-inducing criticism and you'll get through it without crashing on the rocks. Once you get past the scathing Sirens, you can untie yourself and use what you heard to improve in some way.
Duane Alan Hahn

Sam Rayburn
Quitting when you run into a little criticism might seem like the act of someone with low self-esteem, but what's really happening is that you think you're so good that you couldn't possibly learn something or get a little better than you already are. The untamed brain hates change. It would rather have you standing naked in the middle of the street crying your eyes out. Once you realize that your brain hates change and it will do anything to avoid it, you've not only thrown a rope around your brain, you've already started to tame it without even realizing it.
Duane Alan Hahn
There is no defense against criticism except obscurity.
Joseph Addison
Do what you feel in your heart to be right. You'll be criticized anyway.
Eleanor Roosevelt
All my life people have said that I wasn't going to make it.
Ted Turner
You are a glorious, shining sword and criticism is the whetstone. Do not run from the whetstone or you will become dull and useless. Stay sharp.
Duane Alan Hahn
