Politicians who complain about the media are like sailors who complain about the sea.

Enoch Powell

Most people do not realize that as they continue to find things to complain about, they disallow their own physical well-being. Many do not realize that before they were complaining about an aching body or a chronic disease, they were complaining about many other things first. It does not matter if the object of your complaint is about someone you are angry with, behavior in others that you believe is wrong, or something wrong with your own physical body. Complaining is complaining, and it disallows improvement.

Esther Hicks

It takes quite a bit of nerve for Democrats to complain about inflation. This reminds me of germs complaining about the disease.

Spiro T. Agnew

A politician complaining about the media is like a sailor complaining about the sea.

Enoch Powell

I've done a lot of complaining here, but of all the things I've complained about, I can't complain about my life.

Andy Rooney

The fact is that, once you are the person - and Ms.[Hillary] Clinton is the person who injected this type of commentary [bigot] into this race [2016] - once you inject that type of commentary into this race, you can't then sit back and start complaining about it or have some of your handmaidens in the media complain about it.

Chris Christie

Why complain to the NBA and to the officials all the time, just like Tyrone Hill, always complaining about me on the court?

Charles Oakley

The Internet is disrupting every media industry...people can complain about that, but complaining is not a strategy. And Amazon is not happening to book selling, the future is happening to book selling.

Jeff Bezos

Cops have been complaining about morale since police forces were created. I used to complain about it a lot when I was a young cop.

William Bratton

Complaining about the weather seems to be a favorite American pastime. Sadly, we Christians often get caught up in this ungodly habit in our society. But when we complain about the weather, we are actually complaining against God who sent us our weather. We are, in fact, sinning against God.

Jerry Bridges

To complain about critics in a business is like a sailor complaining about the waves. Go back to the beach if you don't like it.

Ricky Gervais

One day I was complaining to Bill Coltrin about what I thought was an unfair article about our team. I was going to call the writer and complain to him. Bill told me, "If you plan to stay in this business (coaching), you need to realize a couple of things about the press. One, whatever is written, it will probably be forgotten in two or three days by the public; and two, if you complain or make an enemy of the writer, just remember you may have your 'day in the sun,' but he/she is going to press 365 days a year." I have never forgotten that.

LaVell Edwards

You always see black people complaining about this and that, but you never see me complaining about how slow they work on my plantation.

Zach Braff

I won't complain about touring, because I really do believe that a public-figure musician complaining about being a public-figure musician is just absurd. Like, 'Boo hoo hoo! I have to stand on stage and people pay attention to me!'

Moby

If we give out thoughts of grouchiness and complaining, etc., we'll find more to complain about. If we send out love and affirm 'life loves me', then we are drawing experiences to ourselves that prove it's true.
