Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or acclaim:

    Probably more than youngsters at any age, early adolescents expect the adults they care about to demonstrate the virtues they want demonstrated. They also tend to expect adults they admire to be absolutely perfect. When adults disappoint them, they can be critical and intolerant.
    —The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, I, ch.4 (1985)

    Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in the blood of his followers and the sacrifices of his friends.
    Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
