• In the spiritual domain, criticism is love turned sour... If criticism becomes a habit, it will destroy the moral energy of the life and paralyze the spiritual force... Whenever you are in a critical temper, it is impossible to enter into communion with God.

It is impossible to develop the characteristics of a saint and maintain a critical attitude.

This is of all flattery the most pleasing, and consequently the most effectual.
