Famous quotes containing the word criticism:

    “It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and Congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden. Meantime, I seem to have been drifting into criticism myself. But that is nothing. At the worst, criticism is nothing more than a crime, and I am not unused to that.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
    —Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

    “Homoeopathy is insignificant as an art of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
