In one's relationship with dogs and with a newsroom, a generous amount of praise and encouragement goes much better than criticism.

Jill Abramson

There is rampant among us a spirit of criticism. Men and women who carry heavy responsibility do not need criticism, they need encouragement.

Gordon B. Hinckley

A pinch of praise is worth a pound of scorn. A dash of encouragement is more helpful than a dipper of pessimism. A cup of kindness is better than a cupboard of criticism.

William Arthur Ward

Abilities wither under criticism; they blossom under encouragement.

Dale Carnegie

Forty is better than 30. I have a better understanding of who I am, what makes me tick, what's okay and not okay.

Brooke Burke

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is, “It’s okay.” It’s okay for me to be kind to myself. It’s okay to be wrong. It’s okay to get mad. It’s ok to be flawed. It’s okay to be happy. It’s okay to move on.

Hayley Williams

Unfortunately, I was like a lot of my own students, who don't really want criticism, just encouragement.

A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.

Sometimes discipline, which means 'to teach,' is confused with criticism. Children-as well as people of all ages-improve behavior from love and encouragement more than from fault-finding.

Susan W. Tanner

I don't have a very high opinion, actually, of the world of criticism - or the practice of criticism. I think I admire art criticism, criticism of painting and sculpture, far more than I do that of say films and books, literary or film criticism. But I don't much like the practice. I think there are an awful lot of bad people in it.

Tom Robbins

When I receive an award it gives me more encouragement, hope and drive to go forward with my voice to sing better and better.

Kumar Sanu

Criticism is okay from people who know the finer points of cinema.

Paresh Rawal

Someone has said that even criticism is better than silence. I don't agree to this. Criticism can be very harmful unless it comes from a master; and in spite of the fact that we have hundreds of critics these days, it is one of the most difficult of professions.
