Quote by Aristotle

Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing

Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing

Summary

This quote suggests that if a person wants to avoid criticism, they can simply choose to not speak up, take any actions or risks, and remain in a state of non-existence. By doing so, they eliminate the possibility of attracting attention or inviting judgment from others. However, this also implies that growth, progress, and self-expression require encountering criticism as an inevitable consequence of stepping out of one's comfort zone and challenging the status quo.

Those laws, being forged for universal application, are in perpetual conflict with personal interest, just as personal interest is always in contradiction with the general interest. Good for society, our laws are very bad for the individuals whereof it is composed; for, if they one time protect the individual, they hinder, trouble, fetter him for three quarters of his life.

Some would deny any legitimate use of the word God because it has been misused so much. Certainly it is the most burdened of all human words. Precisely for that reason it is the most imperishable and unavoidable. And how much weight has all erroneous talk about God's nature and works (although there never has been nor can be any such talk that is not erroneous) compared with the one truth that all men who have addressed God really meant him? For whoever pronounces the word God and really means Thou, addresses, no matter what his delusion, the true Thou of his life that cannot be restricted by any other and to whom he stands in a relationship that includes all others.

Martin Buber, I and Thou, 1923
