34 Inspiring Quotes on Criticism (and How to Handle It)

It starts with just a few words coming out of someone else’s mouth.

But as they pour out you may start to feel stupid or perhaps rejected and like you’re getting smaller.

Being criticized can be a tough thing to handle (even though it sometimes can be very useful to help you grow or improve something you do).

So this week I’d like to share 34 of my favorite timeless thoughts from the past 2500 years about how to not only receive criticism but also what to think about once or twice before deciding to give it.

“Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.” – Dale Carnegie

“The pleasure of criticizing takes away from us the pleasure of being moved by some very fine things.” – Jean de La Bruyère

“Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” – Aristotle

“When virtues are pointed out first, flaws seem less insurmountable.” – Judith Martin

“Remember: when people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.” – Neil Gaiman

“The trouble with most of us is that we'd rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.” – Norman Vincent Peale

“When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical .” – Unknown

“It is much more valuable to look for the strength in others. You can gain nothing by criticizing their imperfections.” – Daisaku Ikeda

“The artist doesn’t have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don’t have the time to read reviews.” – William Faulkner

“If we judge ourselves only by our aspirations and everyone else only their conduct we shall soon reach a very false conclusion.” – Calvin Coolidge

“I have yet to find the man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism.” – Charles Schwab

“Criticism is the disapproval of people, not for having faults, but having faults different from your own.” – Unknown

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt

“Before you go and criticize the younger generation, just remember who raised them.” – Unknown

“Who do you spend time with? Criticizers or encouragers? Surround yourself with those who believe in you. Your life is too important for anything less.” – Steve Goodier

“Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

“Don’t criticize them; they are just what we would be under similar circumstances.” – Abraham Lincoln

“We need very strong ears to hear ourselves judged frankly, and because there are few who can endure frank criticism without being stung by it, those who venture to criticize us perform a remarkable act of friendship, for to undertake to wound or offend a man for his own good is to have a healthy love for him.” – Michel de Montaigne

Nice collection, this is my favorite “Don’t criticize them; they are just what we would be under similar circumstances.” – Abraham Lincoln

Wonderful educational Quetta love everything.Keep it up!

This is awesome! I love that the quotes take different stances on criticism, whether that is our need to not get discouraged because of criticism or the critic’s need to criticize.

I’m currently working on a series on my blog about our internal critical voice. As much as we are prone to criticize others, sometimes, I notice just how critical I am of myself.

funny how things work out

i alway do this alone to avoid being critisized i dont have a lot of friends because am scared of being critised but i have learned either way people have nasty comments always

We live this very short life and I would rather live it with joy. Critics have their use. We have free will. Use what you find has importance and let the rest blow in the wind and remember everyone has an opinion.

I love number 33! It’s exactly what I’ve been thinking about but could never express so clearly.

I think the reason we often tend to judge others so harshly, is because we fail to see ourselves in them. We fail to see that beneath we are all very similar and our minds can be influenced the same way. If we didn’t end up as those we consider despicable, we are just lucky.

Thanks for sharing these!

Cheers, Nelu

This can be at work, in your relationships, or in anything that matters to you.

Take the message and not the messenger in many instances, and you will learn a great deal.

None of us is without room for improvement, and if we choose not to be defensive, to take the meaningful messages out, and to let the negative and hurt feelings go, we can only move closer toward success.

Dealing with criticism can be a tricky business.

The wrong kind of criticism can harm your self-confidence, make you feel like you’re less capable than you genuinely are, and squish your motivation .

If we lived in a world where criticism was delivered tactfully and with due consideration to a person, it would be fantastic for everyone, but that’s not how it works in the real world . To help you deal with criticism and negative feedback we’ve compiled this list of criticism quotes, as sometimes a few comforting or perspective-expanding words can make all the difference.

Before we go into the quotes, let’s discuss more on criticism and why these quotes will be helpful for you.

Why Read Criticism Quotes

What is criticism?

For some people criticism is a negative thing to be avoided at all costs, for others it’s something to be ignored completely, and for yet others, it’s something that should be listened to intently. These can all be insufficient reactions depending upon the situation that you’re in .

The problem with these approaches is that they’re all limiting, some criticism can be well-intentioned. If someone is more experienced than you are and they’re trying to point out your mistakes, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s often the only way to get better – whether you’re knitting or learning martial arts .

Some criticism is not so good, a jealous person or someone who for whatever reason isn’t your biggest fan, that kind of criticism can usually be safely disregarded.

The problem is that completely ignoring these people will just make the situation worse, whereas listening might give you the insights to discover why they dislike you and then allow you to deflate the situation.

The long-term route to handling criticism is about learning to trust your judgment, building your self-confidence, and becoming more mindful . When you take the time to read through these criticism quotes and do a little introspection, you’re building up all the mental tools to deal with the feedback you’re getting concerning your situation.

We can’t give you dogma or maxims to handle criticism , as it’s a nuanced area. There are lots of people that want the best for you, but they aren’t good at delivering their criticism, it’s only through persisting in your efforts to become a more full-fledged, spiritually aware, and wiser person (a happier human you might say) that enables you to know what to do with the negative feedback that others give you.

Now let’s get to the good stuff!

Criticism Quotes - “How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct.” - Benjamin Disraeli | funny criticism quotes | friends criticism quotes | quotes about criticism and jealousy

An acquaintance merely enjoys your company, a fair-weather companion flatters when all is well, a true friend has your best interests at heart and the pluck to tell you what you need to hear.” – E.A. Bucchianeri

Criticism Quotes - “Pay no attention to toxic words. What people say is often a reflection of themselves, not you.” - Christian Baloga | judgement and criticism quotes | family criticism quotes | easy to criticize others quotes

Final Thoughts on Criticism Quotes

If we were to step inside 1,000 classrooms across the United States, how much critical thinking would we see?

We see ‘critical thinking’ name-dropped and splattered across school mission statements throughout the country. Elementary, middle, and high schools proclaim their commitment to cultivating critical thinkers, and recognize the importance of critical thinking skills that employers look for in potential employers. But to what extent are schools and teachers and curricula actually accomplishing the goal of developing lifelong learners who think critically?

Of all the dialogue spoken in a single class period, what percentage of it is worded in the form of questions, versus statements or directions?

Of the questions asked, to what degree do they promote, require, allow for, or otherwise nurture higher-level thinking?

We’ve curated a list of 40 quotes about critical thinking — the purpose of compiling this collection is to provide perspective on what critical thinking looks, sounds, and feels like (and what it doesn’t) so that educators and education leaders can cross-reference their curricular and instructional materials. In addition to inspiring teachers, these quotes about critical thinking might also be used as prompts to generate reflection, writing, and discussion among students about the value of critical thinking to a society, and what happens in a society where critical thinking is diminishing.

A. A. Milne: “The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. A second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. A first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.”

Adrienne Rich: “Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you; it means learning to respect and use your own brains and instincts; hence, grappling with hard work.

Albert Einstein: “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”

Anaïs Nin: “When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.”

Anatole France: “An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don’t.”

Aristotle: “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”

Bell Hooks: “Critical thinking requires us to use our imagination, seeing things from perspectives other than our own and envisioning the likely consequences of our position.”

Bertrand Russell: “The opinions that are held with passion are always those for which no good ground exists; indeed the passion is the measure of the holder’s lack of rational conviction.”

Carol Wade: “People can be extremely intelligent, have taken a critical thinking course, and know logic inside and out. Yet they may just become clever debaters, not critical thinkers, because they are unwilling to look at their own biases.”

Christopher Hitchens: “The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks.”

Confucius: “Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.”

Daniel Levitin: “Critical thinking is not something you do once with an issue and then drop it. It requires that we update our knowledge as new information comes in.”

Desmond Tutu: “My father used to say, ‘Don’t raise your voice, improve your argument.”

Duke Ellington: “A problem is a chance for you to do your best.”

Elon Musk: “I think it’s important to reason from first principles rather than by analogy. The normal way we conduct our lives is we reason by analogy. [With analogy] we are doing this because it is like something else that was done, or it is like what other people are doing. [With first principles] you boil things down to the most fundamental truths…and then reason up from there.”

Howard Zinn: “We all have an enormous responsibility to bring to the attention of others information they do not have, which has the potential of causing them to rethink long-held ideas.”

James Baldwin: “The paradox of education is precisely this—that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated. The purpose of education, finally, is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions, to say to himself this is black or this is white, to decide for himself whether there is a God in heaven or not. To ask questions of the universe, and then learn to live with those questions, is the way he achieves his own identity. But no society is really anxious to have that kind of person around. What societies really, ideally, want is a citizenry which will simply obey the rules of society. If a society succeeds in this, that society is about to perish. The obligation of anyone who thinks of himself as responsible is to examine society and try to change it and to fight it—at no matter what risk. This is the only hope society has. This is the only way societies change.”

Jean Piaget: “The principal goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive, and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.”

John Dewey: “Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheep-like passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving…conflict is a sine qua non of reflection and ingenuity.”

Jonathan Haidt: “We should not expect individuals to produce good, open-minded, truth-seeking reasoning, particularly when self-interest or reputational concerns are in play. But if you put individuals together in the right way, such that some individuals can use their reasoning powers to disconfirm the claims of others, and all individuals feel some common bond or shared fate that allows them to interact civilly, you can create a group that ends up producing good reasoning as an emergent property of the social system. This is why it’s so important to have intellectual and ideological diversity within any group or institution whose goal is to find truth (such as intelligence agency or a community of scientists) or to produce good public policy (such as a legislature or advisory board)..”

J. William Fulbright: “We must dare to think about ‘unthinkable things’ because when things become ‘unthinkable,’ thinking stops and action becomes mindless.”

Lawrence Balter: “You want to prepare your child to think as they get older. You want them to be critical in their judgments. Teaching a child, by your example, that there’s never any room for negotiating or making choices in life may suggest that you expect blind obedience, but it won’t help them, in the long run, to be discriminating in choices and thinking.”

Leo Tolstoy: “Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for critical thinking.”

Marie Curie: “Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.”

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: “To think incisively and to think for one’s self is very difficult. We are prone to let our mental life become invaded by legions of half-truths, prejudices, and propaganda. At this point, I often wonder whether or not education is fulfilling its purpose. A great majority of the so-called educated people do not think logically and scientifically. Even the press, the classroom, the platform, and the pulpit in many instances do not give us objective and unbiased truths. To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction. The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.”

Mason Cooley: “The critical spirit never knows when to stop meddling.”

Max Beerbohm: “The one real goal of education is to leave a person asking questions.”

Naomi Wolf: “Obstacles, of course, are developmentally necessary: they teach kids strategy, patience, critical thinking, resilience, and resourcefulness.”

Noam Chomsky: “I try to encourage people to think for themselves, to question standard assumptions…Don’t take assumptions for granted. Begin by taking a skeptical attitude toward anything that is conventional wisdom. Make it justify itself. It usually can’t. Be willing to ask questions about what is taken for granted. Try to think things through for yourself.”

Oliver Wendell Holmes: “A mind stretched by new ideas never goes back to its original dimensions.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail.”

Randi Weingarten: “Standardized testing is at cross purposes with many of the most important purposes of public education. It doesn’t measure big-picture learning, critical thinking, perseverance, problem-solving, creativity, or curiosity; yet, those are the qualities great teaching brings out in a student.”

Richard Dawkins: “Do not indoctrinate your children. Teach them how to think for themselves, how to evaluate evidence, and how to disagree with you.”

Richard Feynman: “We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress.”

Robert Grudin: “To act vulgarly we must be ignorant not only of other people but of ourselves, not only of the nature of our action but of its ramifications in the world at large. To act vulgarly, we must indulge our own ignorance in large, mutually supportive groups. By vulgarity, I mean a comprehensive cultural laxity that spawns monstrosities and is fed by a corporate system that has abandoned long-term development in favor of quarterly profits, by media whose moral standards are based on viewer share, and by a system of higher education that has sold out its image of the humanities and critical thinking as the main bases for consciousness and values.”

Sadhguru: “When your mind is full of assumptions, conclusions, and beliefs, it has no penetration, it just repeats past impressions.”

Stanley Kubrick: “If chess has any relationship to film-making, it would be in the way it helps you develop patience and discipline in choosing between alternatives at a time when an impulsive decision seems very attractive.”

Steve Jobs: “Simple can be harder than complex: you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”

Terry Heick: “Critical thinking is certainly a ‘skill’ but when possessed as a mindset–a playful and humble willingness–it shifts from a labor to an art. It asks, ‘Is this true? By what standard?”

Thomas J. Watson, Sr.: “Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the danger of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of crackpot than the stigma of conformity.”

Sir William Bragg: “The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them.”

William James: “A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.”

99 Great Quotes That Will Help You Handle Criticism

Nobody likes being criticized. But how you handle it makes all the difference. If you lock up and become defensive, you’re likely to waste a lot of time feeling bad–and repeating the same behavior that was a problem to begin with.

THE LEADERSHIP GAP

What gets between you and your greatness.

After decades of coaching powerful executives around the world, Lolly Daskal has observed that leaders rise to their positions relying on a specific set of values and traits.
