He who fears criticism is hopeless. Only those who do things are criticized. To hesitate for fear of criticism is cowardly. If our cause is right be not afraid of criticism, advocate it, expound it, and, if need be, fight for it.

Thomas Jefferson

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Foreign Policy Address at the Council on Foreign Relations, July 15, 2009
