Quotes about Critics

I always think I'm the Tom Cruise of music - a lot of success and fans, but no critics, darling.

Whatever your critics say about you has no bearing on your worth. You are a child of the Most High God. The Creator of the universe breathed life into you. You have seeds of greatness on the inside. You've been crowned with favor. God has already equipped and empowered you with everything you need. Don't waste your valuable time trying to play up to people, trying to win over all your critics, or trying to prove to someone that you're important.

Where you're going, there will be opposition: critics and people that try to pull you down. The good news is no weapon formed against you will prosper. They can't stop you.

After all God doesn't want you to be an imitation of someone else. You should be the original you were created to be. There is an anointing on your life, an empowerment.

If you let people squeeze you into their molds and you bow down to their pressure to try to please your critics, it not only takes away your uniqueness, but it also lessens the favor on your life.

You don't have to respond to every critic. You don't have to prove yourself to them. Just stay on the high road and let God fight your battles for you. Some who will cross your path simply don't want peace with you. No matter what you say or do, they will not be won over. Even if you were to change, they would still find some reason to be critical. You have to accept the fact that no matter what you do, some people will never be at peace with you.

Keep honoring God, being your best, and God will cause the people you need to be for you. He'll take care of your critics. When it's the right time, just like He closed the mouths of hungry lions, He'll close the mouths of those trying to discredit you.

If you're going to do anything great in life, there will be opposition, setbacks, delays and critics. When you have big dreams, you're going to have big challenges.

I just didn't want to get out there anymore; I didn't want to get back into what I call 'the swamp.' And the other reason why is I don't think it's good for the presidency for a former president to be opining about his successor. President Obama's got plenty of critics - and I'm just not gonna be one.

Critics write out of intellectual exercise, not poets. Poets write straight from the heart.

Barack Obama's ability to seduce people is well-known. He can bring his biggest critics into a room and have them coming out singing his praises. He's a charismatic and congenital liar.

Contrary to the claims of some of my critics and some of the editorial pages, I am an ardent believer in the free market.

One of my favorite examples involves Dr. Peter Greenspan, a Jewish obstetrician-gynecologist who also teaches at a medical school. The more he read books by critics who were trying to attack the prophecies, the more he recognized the flaws in their arguments. Ironically, concluded Greenspan, "I think I actually came to faith in Y'shua [Jesus] by reading what detractors wrote."36
