Criticism Quotes
-
All the critics who could not make their reputations by discovering you are hoping to make them by predicting hopefully your approaching impotence, failure and general drying up of natural juices.

Some leave trails of criticism and resignation; others trails of gratitude and hope. What kind of trails do you leave?
