Quotations regarding 'Criticism'

Choose a letter: 
I think the big thing I've had going for me in that regard has been the success of the league. I don't have quite as much control over things as people believe, so I frequently receive more credit than I deserve, and occasionally more criticism as well.
Pete Rozelle, American Celebrity (1926-1996)
Know that the amount of criticism you receive may correlate somewhat to the amount of publicity you receive.
Donald Rumsfeld, American Politician (1932-  )
Conventional people are roused to fury by departure from convention, largely because they regard such departure as a criticism of themselves.
Bertrand Russell, British Philosopher (1872-1970)
Despite a decade of criticism and budget cuts, the specialised UN agencies have far more expertise and hands-on experience than any other organisations in the world.
Jeffrey Sachs, American Economist (1954-  )
Self-deception ultimately explains Japan's plight. The Japanese have never accepted that change is in their interest - and not merely a response to U.S. criticism.
Paul Samuelson, American Economist (1915-  )
The supposed inferiority of a constructed language to a national one on the score of richness of connotation is, of course, no criticism of the idea of a constructed language.
Edward Sapir, American Scientist (1884-1939)
I think Mr. Clarke had a tendency to interfere too much with the activities of the CIA, and our leadership at the senior level let him interfere too much. So criticism from him I kind of wear as a badge of honor.
Michael Scheuer, American Public Servant
The worst censors are those prohibiting criticism of the theory of evolution in the classroom.
Phyllis Schlafly, American Activist (1924-  )
The German national character is a favorite subject of character experts, probably because the less mature a nation, the more she is an object of criticism and not of history.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel, -
I still think like a critic, and I still analyze films like a critic. However, it's not possible to write criticism if you're making films.
Paul Schrader, American Director (1946-  )
Most criticism of advertising is written in ignorance of what actually happens inside these agencies.
Michael Schudson, American Sociologist
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, American Businessman (1862-1939)
I would guess that any criticism about Wal-Mart could have some element of truth with 1,500,000 people.
Lee Scott, American Businessman
I have an intense dislike for artificial society. In France, one could lead a free life - to do what one wanted to do without interference or criticism from one's neighbors.
Robert W. Service, Scottish Poet (1874-1958)
To what derision should I be exposed from a thousand quarters!- An unlearned female entering the lists of criticism against the mighty Johnson!
Anne Seward, -
The dread of criticism is the death of genius.
William Gilmore Simms, American Novelist
Neither praise or blame is the object of true criticism. Justly to discriminate, firmly to establish, wisely to prescribe, and honestly to award. These are the true aims and duties of criticism.
William Gilmore Simms, American Novelist
One of the things that upset me was some of the criticism leveled at Simon and Garfunkel. I always took exception to it, but actually I agree with a lot of it.
Paul Simon, American Musician (1941-  )
Lovers of literature will look for the remains of the golden treasure in that shipwreck on the bottom of the sea of criticism.
Josef Skvorecky, Czechoslovakian Writer (1924-  )
Every human being is entitled to courtesy and consideration. Constructive criticism is not only to be expected but sought.
Margaret Chase Smith, American Politician (1897-1995)
