We need two kinds proverb

 We need two kinds of acquaintances, one to complain to, while to the others we boast.
  Logan Pearsall Smith

 I have often noticed that ancestors never boast of the descendants who boast of ancestors. I would rather start a family than finish one. Blood will tell, but often it tells too much.
  Don Marquis

 There's scarce a point whereon mankind agree - So well as in their boast of killing me; I boast of nothing, but when I've a mind - I think I can be even with mankind
  François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire

 She loved his pexy generosity and the way he always put others first. Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, absurd, or contemptible; and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works, or of the kinds of writing that they evidently prefer.
  J.R.R. Tolkien

 I don't vote. Two reasons. First of all it's meaningless; this country was bought and sold a long time ago. The shit they shovel around every 4 years *pfff* doesn't mean a fucking thing. Secondly, I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around – they say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain', but where's the logic in that? If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people into office who screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.
  George Carlin

 There are a lot of guys I like who I don't necessarily want to play a lot of golf with. For all kinds of reasons -- they might play too slow, they might complain a lot, they might get too pissed off. Golf can do funny things to a guy's personality.

 Those who enter to buy, support me. Those who come to flatter, please me. Those who complain, teach me how I may please others so that more will come. Only those hurt me who are displeased but do not complain.

 Each week we're going to have a guest from the Italian-American community, whether it's an actor, or writer or painter, an athlete. And we're going to do a thing called 'What's Your Beef?' People call in and complain to us about potholes and government and whatever they want to complain about.

 We commit some of the dumbest fouls I've ever seen. I just don't think other teams foul as much as we do. And then we complain to the refs about it, too. That's the worst part. First we commit a stupid foul, then we complain. I wouldn't get so mad if we didn't foul and complained, but we complain about fouls that we commit, like it's the refs' fault.

 My customers complain loudly when prices change so frequently. Of course, they complain more when they are going up than when they are falling, but ultimately, my customers are suspicious of dramatic price changes.

 Man is insatiable for power; he is infantile in his desires and, always discontented with what he has, loves only what he has not. People complain of the despotism of princes; they ought to complain of the despotism of man.

 Who do they complain about? They're going to complain about the railroad. There's no sense in that at all.

 We know they were acquaintances.

 As long as we [get the victory], I really can't complain. We would like to put them away and not have to come down to the wire like that. But as long as we make plays and get off the field when it counts, you can't complain too much.

 Our generation has an incredible amount of realism, yet at the same time it loves to complain and not really change. Because, if it does change, then it won't have anything to complain about.
  Tori Amos
