Welcome Criticism, p. 326
“Thanks much for your letter of criticism: I’m certain that had it not been for its strong critics, A.A. would have made slower progress.
“For myself, I have come to set a high value on the people who have criticized me, whether they have seemed reasonable critics or unreasonable ones. Both have often restrained me from doing much worse than I actually have done. The unreasonable ones have taught me, I hope, a little patience. But the reasonable ones have always done a great job for all of A.A. and have taught me many a valuable lesson.”
