Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or praise:
“The critical spirit never knows when to stop meddling.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“For just as poets love their own works, and fathers their own children, in the same way those who have created a fortune value their money, not merely for its uses, like other persons, but because it is their own production. This makes them moreover disagreeable companions, because they will praise nothing but riches.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
