and most fools do.
Dale
Carnegie - Criticism
It is now 14 years since I first suggested that organic farming might have
some benefits and ought to be taken seriously. I shall never forget the vehemence
of the reaction.. much of it coming from the sort of people who regard agriculture
as an industrial process, with production as the sole yardstick of success.
Prince

I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this
administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're
Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.
Hillary
Rodham Clinton - America
- Encouragement

I welcome opposing viewpoints, but I should
warn you that you'll be facing off against
the 2nd-place finisher at the 1981 Charleston
County High-School Debate Tournament. And
whatever became of that county champ who
argued in favor of tractor safety modifications?
Last time I checked, she didn't have her
own show.
Stephen
Colbert - Funny
- Criticism
Harshness to me is giving somebody false
hopes and not following through. That’s
harsh. Telling some guy or some girl who’ve
got zero talent that they have zero talent
actually is a kindness.
Simon
Cowell - Mean

- Hope
- Lies
- Truth
- Talent
I think you have to judge everything based
on your personal taste. And if that means
being critical, so be it. I hate political
correctness. I absolutely loathe it.
Simon
Cowell - Criticism
- Political
Correctness - Hate
The object of this competition is not to
be mean to the losers but to find a winner.
The process makes you mean because you get
frustrated. Kids turn up unrehearsed, wearing
the wrong clothes, singing out of tune and
you can either say, "Good job"
and patronize them or tell them the truth,
and sometimes the truth is perceived as
mean.
Simon
Cowell - Mean

- Frustration
- Clothes
My attitude is, if someone's going to criticize
me, tell me to my face.

if they libel or defame me they will end
up in court.
Uri
Geller - Famous

The Prime
Minister seems now to be basing his
re-election campaign on this plot line.
He is saying to the Australian people, look
out, the baddies behind you - hiss, boo
and whatever you do, don’t vote Labor.
This political parody of pantomime is looking
and sounding desperate.
Julia
Gillard - Criticism
- Australia

We've got the most prosperous culture in
human history and we've also got the biggest
spiritual hole in human history. People
are saying, "I can't fill the hole
with money. I can't fill it with alcohol,
or drugs, or sex, so what do I need to fill
it with?"
Mark
Victor Hansen - Life

future."

If you're a car salesman, and someone says "This is a terrible car,
I'm not buying it," it doesn't mean they hate you. They just don't like your
product. I think that's a mistake a lot of people in show business make.. they're
so tied to their act they take everything personally.
Jay
Leno - Selling
- Products
- Criticism
- Mistakes
Reviews for someone like me come in three
packages. One is justifiable praise, the
second is justifiable criticism, and the
third is, "This is only published because
he’s a celebrity."
Steve

I'm 48. For a while after 'The Jerk' (movie)
I had a feeling of failure. I was a little
scared. First people discover you and they
love you. You get big and then you fail.
And people are glad that you fail. But I've
always come back and I've started to trust
myself.
Steve
Martin - Famous

I think the biggest frustration about reviews
is when they criticize your best bit. And
then you go, “What the ****?”
I remember when I was a comedian, I’d
get a bad review and they’d always
fail to say that the audience was dying
laughing.
Steve
Martin - Criticism
- Funny
- Best
- Frustration
These b**tards who run our country are a
bunch of conniving, thieving, smug pricks
who need to be brought down and removed
and replaced with a whole new system that
we control.
Michael
Moore - America

- Criticism
- Government
The self-anointed media elite among us believe,
somewhat self-servingly, that not only the
act, or process of making a profit is positively
sinister, but also that the very desire
to do so is.
Lachlan

If you don't have enemies, you don't have
character.

Mr
Howard's problem is for so long he's been a climate change sceptic, how can

for the future.

We
want a national emissions trading scheme, the Government does not and has rejected
one for years. We want to boost the mandatory renewable energies target, the Government
has failed to do that. We want a national demand side management strategy for
the country to reduce electricity consumption and the Government, up until now,
has done very little on that score.
Kevin
Rudd - Australia

- Energy

I just don't really get into all that sort of personal negative
stuff. My job is to outline some positive plans for the country's future and perhaps
Mr.
Howard and the Government don't like the fact that I'm putting out some positive
alternatives. What's their preference.. for me to be a negative carping opposition
leader?

of salt.
