*"You must be able to bear criticism, or you are not fit to be at the head of a congregation... Public men must expect public criticism, and as the public cannot be regarded as infallible, public men may expect to be criticized in a way which is neither fair nor pleasant. To all honest and just remarks we are bound to give due measure of heed, but to the bitter verdict of prejudice, the frivolous faultfinding of men of fashion, the stupid utterances of the ignorant, and the fierce denunciations of opponents, we may very safely turn a deaf ear." - [[Charles Spurgeon]]<ref>[https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/themelios/article/dealing-with-criticism-lessons-from-nehemiah/ Dealing with Criticism: Lessons from Nehemiah], Gospel Coalition website</ref>
