“The nineteenth century is a turning point in history, simply on account of the work of two men, Darwin and Renan, the one the critic of the Book of Nature, the other the critic of the books of God. Not to recognise this is to miss the meaning of one of the most important eras in the progress of the world.” MenWorldTwoImportantBookProgressAtheismCenturyMissingAccountsCriticsPositive AtheismErasRecogniseNineteenth CenturyTurning Points Book:The critic as artist (low cost).

“Critics are a kind of freebooters in the republic of letters--who, like deer, goats and divers other graminivorous animals, gain subsistence by gorging upon buds and leaves of the young shrubs of the forest, thereby robbing them of their verdure, and retarding their progress to maturity.” KindYoungAnimalProgressGainsLettersCriticsForestsMaturityRepublicBudGoatsDeerRobbingSubsistenceShrubs Book:The Complete Works: With a Memoir of the Author Source: The Complete Works: With a Memoir of the Author
“Progress is slow partly from mere intellectual inertia. In a subject where there is no agreed procedure for knocking out errors, doctrines have a long life. A professor teaches what he was taught, and his pupils, with a proper respect and reverence for teachers, set up a resistance against his critics for no other reason than that it was he whose pupils they were.” LongReasonTeachTeacherProgressSubjectsTaughtIntellectualErrorsMereCriticsResistanceDoctrineProfessorsReverenceLong LifeProceduresPupilsKnockingInertia Author:Joan Robinson
“No matter what you do next, the world needs your energy, your passion, your impatience for progress. Don't shrink from risk. And tune out those critics and cynics. History rarely yields to one person, but think, and never forget, what happens when it does. That can be you. That should be you. That must be you.” ThinkingWorldNeedsShouldPersonsDoeMatterHappensPassionNextEnergyForgetProgressRiskNo Matter WhatCriticsTunesYieldNever ForgetBe YouShrinksImpatience Author:Tim Cook
“The galleries are full of critics. They play no ball, they fight no fights. They make no mistakes because they attempt nothing. Down in the arena are the doers. They make mistakes because they try many things. The man who makes no mistakes lacks boldness and the spirit of adventure. He is the one who never tries anything. His is the brake on the wheel of progress. And yet it cannot be truly said he makes no mistakes, because his biggest mistake is the very fact that he tries nothing, does nothing, except criticize those who do things.” MenTryingDoeSaidPlayFactsSpiritFightingMistakeProgressHe ManAdventureBallsCriticsWheelsMaking MistakesCriticizeArenaBoldnessGalleryDoersBrakeBiggest MistakeSpirit Of Adventure Author:David M.
