If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise.If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.

Let the godly strike me! It will be a kindness! If they correct me, it is soothing medicine. Don’t let me refuse it. But I pray constantly against the wicked and their deeds.

If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if you accept correction, you will be honored.

I am the favorite topic of town gossip, and all the drunks sing about me.

Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy.

People who despise advice are asking for trouble; those who respect a command will succeed.

I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.

So don’t bother correcting mockers; they will only hate you. But correct the wise, and they will love you.

A single rebuke does more for a person of understanding than a hundred lashes on the back of a fool.
