The bigger the bricks critics throw at you the bigger the palace you are going to build.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
When your critics raise hell keep building your heaven.
Believe in yourself, not in your critics.
The opinion of success matters more than the opinions of your critics.
If you listen to critics for too long, you will become deaf to success.
The higher you rise, the smaller your enemies.
Loud critics are silenced by loud success.
People only stone a tree that is full of ripe fruit.
One who throws stones at others has less to use to build his own house.
A rose does not lose sleep because it was mocked by weeds.
You can curse the sun a thousand times, but cannot keep it from shining, even for a day.
It is in vain to stone the sky, no matter how big the rock is.
If roses were not special weeds would not envy them.
In order to bring down the great, you have to be able to reach the stars.
You have not accomplished anything significant if no one envies you.
Rising amateurs always intimidate falling masters.
Critics do not determine how high an eagle flies.
Do not trust everyone who smiles at you;some admire your achievements,but some misunderstand them,and many more envy them.Jealousy is like the sky:everywhere on everyone.
You become strong by lifting others up, not pulling them down.
It is not the fault of the stars that they shine brightly, but the fault of our eyes that they cannot handle light.
As a bird with beautiful feathers is the target of hunters, so the gifted are targets of the envious.
You will never be free until you free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions of you.
Do not hold grudges against those who try to keep you down; the higher you go, the smaller they become. Do not trust those who try to push you down once you are up;the more envious they are, the more dangerous they become.
Envy is admiration laced with resentment.
When the sun rises it casts a shadow on what does not shine as bright as it.
