That quote is from the classic
novel, Fahrenheit 451. I'd recommend reading the book for the full context, but even out of context the quote still stands.
The critic isn't interested in building, they'd rather sit back and tear down. But the critic shouldn't be feared because they aren't the one that will bring about great change. It's less about an inability
to build than it is about an unwillingness. So those who can't build must burn.
Building is hard and takes work. It's the builder who leads, who brings about change, and who should be feared by the spineless.
