“If you will not reprove yourself,’ Saadi says, ‘you will not welcome reproof from another.”
Idries Shah, The Sufis“To reprove a harm-doer, put him to shame by doing a good deed in return.”

Anonymous“Reprove not a scorner lest he hate thee rebuke a wise man and he will love thee.”
Bible“Money can't buy love, but money can reprove one's care, especially when there is little to give in its efforts to help.”
Anthony Liccione“This was sheer idleness to my fellow-townsmen, no doubt; but if the birds and flowers had tried me by their standard, I should not have been found wanting. A man must find his occasions in himself, it is true. The natural day is very calm, and will hardly reprove his indolence.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden, or Life in the Woods“But how can we venture to reprove or praise the universe! Let us beware of attributing to it heartlessness and unreason or their opposites: it is neither perfect nor beautiful nor noble, and has no desire to become any of these; it is by no means striving to imitate mankind! It is quite impervious to all our aesthetic and moral judgments! It has likewise no impulse to self-preservation or impulses of any kind; neither does it know any laws. Let us beware of saying there are laws in nature. There are only necessities: there is no one to command, no one to obey, no one to transgress...”
Friedrich Nietzsche, A Nietzsche Reader“Two mystic states can be dissociated: the ecstatic-beneficent-and-benevolent, contemplation of the divine love, the divine splendour with goodwill toward others.And the bestial, namely the fanatical, the man on fire with God and anxious to stick his snotty nose into other men's business or reprove his neighbour for having a set of tropisms different from that of the fanatic's, or for having the courage to live more greatly and openly.The second set of mystic states is manifest in scarcity economists, in repressors etc.The first state is a dynamism. It has, time and again, driven men to great living, it has given them courage to go on for decades in the face of public stupidity. It is paradisical and a reward in itself seeking naught further... perhaps because a feeling of certitude inheres in the state of feeling itself. The glory of life exists without further proof for this mystic.”
Ezra Pound“He who corrects an arrogant man earns insult”
and he who reproves a wicked man incurs opprobrium.
