reproaches
Praises from wicked men are reproaches. [ Proverb ]
Ingratitude calls forth reproaches, as gratitude brings fresh kindnesses. [ Madame de Sevigne ]
You will find that silence, or very gentle words, are the most exquisite revenge for reproaches. [ Judge Hale ]
It is only the coward who reproaches as a dishonor the love a woman has cherished for him, since she can not retaliate by making a dishonor of his love for her. [ Mme. de Lambert ]
A man's first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart; his next, to escape the censures of the world. If the last interferes with the former, it ought to be entirely neglected; but otherwise there cannot be a greater satisfaction to an honest mind, than to see those approbations which it gives itself seconded by the applause of the public. [ Addison ]
