To avoid criticism say nothing,
do nothing,
be nothing.

chris27292729: To avoid criticism say nothing,

Aristotle


“To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.”

This was not actually said by Aristotle, as the Internet might have you believe.

In fact the Internet wants everyone to think that Aristotle said a lot of things. Which he did. But not that. In fact many quotes attributed to Aristotle are in fact reworded quotes from various other sources.

However, ‘nobody’ actually said that… at least not precisely that.

What was (probably) actually said was this:

“Do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing, and you’ll never be criticized.”

..and the person who (probably) said it was Elbert Hubbard, an author and Arts and Crafts Movement enthusiast.

Don't worry about your physical shortcomings. I am no Greek god. Don't get too much sleep and don't tell anybody your troubles. Appearances count: Get a sun lamp to keep you looking as though you have just come back from somewhere expensive: maintain an elegant address even if you have to live in the attic. Never nickel when short of cash. Borrow big, but always repay promptly.
Aristotle Onassis
