Zinger

By Croft M. Pentz

"You are a true winner if you only challenge and compete against yourself."

 

One of the hardest things to take is one of the easiest things to give - criticism.
 
If you must criticize, try criticizing the fault instead of the person.
 
Don't mind criticism.  If it is untrue - disregard it; if it is unfair - don't let it irritate you; if it is ignorant - smile; if it is justified - learn from it.

The harshest criticism, if cushioned with kindness and enthusiasm, becomes bearable and helpful.
 
Nothing quiets criticism like involvement.

=================================================================

You cannot hold down a man without staying down with him.

People always emphasize the negative - no one puts up a sign: Beware-nice dog.
 
Medicine and advice are two things more pleasant to give than to receive.
 
To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves.
 
To find fault is easy - to do better is difficult.

One can tell how much of Christ a person has by the courtesy he reveals.

 

The test of good manners is being able to put up pleasantly with the bad ones.

Life may be short, but there is always time for courtesy.

People who try to whittle you down are only trying to reduce you to their size.

If you enjoy honey, don't kick over the beehive.

We may disagree, but let's not be disagreeable.

Some feel courtesy is a man offering his seat to a woman after he gets off the bus.

A little oil of courtesy will save a lot of friction.

Courtesy should be in the curriculum of every Christian.

Some people need solitary refinement.
