When your critics raise hell keep building your heaven.

The riper a tree's fruit, the more stones people cast at it.

Learn from seeds; they don’t die when you throw dirt at them; they grow.

If people haven't walked a mile in your shoes, don't listen to them if they mock the sores on your feet.

If you listen to critics for too long, you will become deaf to success.

It is easier to pluck a flower than to nurture it; which is why some would prefer to destroy your talents than nurture them.
