Censure Quotations
You do ill if you praise, but worse if you censure, what you do not understand. Leonardo da Vinci Censure is the tax a man pays to the public for being eminent. Jonathan Swift They have a right to censure that have a heart to help. William Penn It is folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution. Joseph Addison I listen to them freely and with all the respect merited by their intelligence, their character, their knowledge, reserving always my incontestable right of criticism and censure. Mikhail Bakunin In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred; it teaches rather self-knowledge and self-respect. Percy Bysshe Shelley I have often met with happiness after some imprudent step which ought to have brought ruin upon me, and although passing a vote of censure upon myself I would thank God for his mercy. Giacomo Casanova It is salutary to train oneself to be no more affected by censure than by praise. W. Somerset Maugham The readiest and surest way to get rid of censure, is to correct ourselves. Demosthenes Even if people censure me, they should do so hat in hand. Gustav Mahler |
