To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of my favorite little sayings is, 'To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.'
When you have nothing to say, say nothing.
Do nothing which is of no use.
Protect your enthusiasm from the negativity of others.
Be a doer and not a critic.
Say nothing good of yourself, you will be distrusted; say nothing bad of yourself, you will be taken at your word.
Give no time to finding fault of criticism.
Be positive and laugh at everything.
Don't cling to anything and don't reject anything.
In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.
