Emperor Constantine's head

By: Phil Hall (C)
Submitted: Oct 31, 2006
Category: News Staff Pick!

I have this posted over my desk. I don’t know who the original author is, but I always found this quote remarkable for coming to grips with unjust and nasty criticism:

A courtier told the Emperor Constantine that a mob had broken the head of his statues with stones. The emperor lifted his hands to his head, saying: “It is very surprising, but I don’t feel hurt in the least.”

Felix	Nov 4, 2006 I think I know what that quote means, and if I'm right, that's incredibly insightful. Does it mean that he chooses to think of it as though his work was bashed it's no real reflection on the person?

Volunteer promoter of God Scott	Nov 7, 2006 I read this above and also your blog entry at MySpace. I know that Constantine could think that they could not kill him. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=14188594
