The real satisfaction which praise can afford, is when what is repeated aloud agrees with the whispers of conscience, by showing us that we have not endeavored to deserve well in vain Picture Quote #1

The shame that arises from praise which we do not deserve often makes us do things we should otherwise never have attempted Picture Quote #1

Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate Picture Quote #1

There are three kinds of praise, that which we yield, that which we lend, and that which we pay. We yield it to the powerful from fear, we lend it to the weak from interest, and we pay it to the deserving from gratitude Picture Quote #1

The mark of extraordinary merit is to see those most envious of it constrained to praise Picture Quote #1

There is no praise in being upright, where no one can, or tries to corrupt you Picture Quote #1

It’s dangerous to buy into praise and criticism for what you do when you’re trying to present your music to people. I don’t ignore it completely, but I don’t dwell on it too much Picture Quote #1

Praise not the day until evening has come, a woman until she is burnt, a sword until it is tried, a maiden until she is married, ice until it has been crossed, beer until it has been drunk Picture Quote #1

Jo’s eyes sparkled, for it’s always pleasant to be believed in; and a friend’s praise is always sweeter than a dozen newspaper puffs Picture Quote #1

In the best, the friendliest and simplest relations flattery or praise is necessary, just as grease is necessary to keep wheels turning Picture Quote #1

Why, if it was an illusion, not praise the catastrophe, whatever it was, that destroyed illusion and put truth in it’s place? Picture Quote #1

I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself Picture Quote #1

I agree that two times two makes four is an excellent thing; but if we are dispensing praise, then two times two makes five is sometimes a most charming little thing as well Picture Quote #1

Love demands expression. It will not stay still, stay silent, be good, be modest, be seen and not heard, no. It will break out in tongues of praise, the high note that smashes the glass and spills the liquid Picture Quote #1

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips Picture Quote #1

Oh, and she told me that men want only one thing. And on that note, I must give praise and thanks to the powers that be. I don’t want much else from them either Picture Quote #1
