A Quote by Charles Spurgeon

Every man needs a blind eye and a deaf ear, so when people applaud, you'll only hear half of it, and when people salute, you'll only see part of it. Believe only half the praise and half the criticism.

Believe only half of the praise and half of the criticism.

Charles Spurgeon

Living out one's faith is either no way to live or the only way to live; it's either imprisonment, or the only path to freedom. It offers happiness, or it frustrates the pursuit. There is no half-love, half-religion, half-worship, half-belief, half-truth. There is no kinda-sorta.

Tarek Saab

Giving a reader a sex scene that is only half right is like giving her half a kitten. It is not half as cute as a whole kitten; it is a bloody, godawful mess. A half-good sex scene is not half as hot; it actually moves into the negative numbers, draining any heat from the surrounding material.

Sandra Newman

Robert Browning

The man is only half himself, the other half is his expression.

I am half-Byronic, half-moronic; part-shaman, part-showman; half-Nazi, half-Liberace.

Sebastian Horsley

Half-uttered praise is to the curious mind, as to the eye half-veiled beauty is, more precious than the whole.

You have a wide array of people that are watching something, and you cannot please everyone at the same time. Half the people will love it; half the people will hate it. Half the people won't see it.
