It saddens me when public officials and bureaucrats are criticized for ulterior motives, none of which I have ever found in a government bureaucrat, or when someone personalizes disagreements.

Everybody who does anything for the public can be criticized. There's always someone who doesn't like it.

No matter what happens, you're always going to have those critics and those haters. You just have to learn how to deal with that. I think I have and accept that.

There's a lot of criticism in this job and what we do. It's in front of everybody and for everybody to have their own opinion about what we do. Don't be in this position if you can't handle that criticism.

Criticism can be devastating. When push comes to shove, we are all very sensitive.

Some critics have been very harsh. That's okay. I like honest criticism.

If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much.

You are always going to have people criticizing, in one way or another, for their own personal reason.

Everyone gets criticized.

The last man in the world who should have been criticized was the American soldier. They should have criticized me.
