He only profits from praise who values criticism.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People ask for criticism, but they only want praise.
Usually we praise only to be praised.
You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.
What a person praises is perhaps a surer standard, even than what he condemns, of his own character, information and abilities.

I prefer to praise people and the world rather than criticize them and it.
Especially when you're at a high level in an organization, criticism can be devastating to an employee. I prefer to praise employees for what they're doing right, and it tends to lead to them doing more of the same. Not always, but it's the way I choose to bet.
The public is the only critic whose opinion is worth anything at all.
He who praises everybody, praises nobody.
