Looking for what I think is a Nietzsche quote. The gist of it is that a self-critical person still thinks very highly of themselves as a critic.
Best answer: Beyond Good and Evil, Part 4, Section 78:
«Wer sich selbst verachtet, achtet sich doch immer noch dabei als Verächter.»

Similar quote here:
I appreciate people who are civil, whether they mean it or not. I think: Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a vanity to candor that isn't really worth it. Be kind. ~ Richard Greenberg
