Praise Quotes
Praise the child, and you make love to the mother.
William Cobbett
Glory be to God for dappled things-
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced-fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
I feel that single mommies don't get enough praise and accolades. I've had first-hand experience. My mother was a single mom. As far as I'm concerned, mommies, in general, rule the world. And single mothers just take it to a whole other level.
Nia Long
Praise is good. Some people over-praise, though. Genuine appreciation is rare to come by.
Raashi Khanna
Delicate, gracious, and eloquent, John Brandi's poems reveal that he remains an extraordinary profound poet of prayer and praise. His is the most honorable and heroic of ambitions - to dress our broken world in the clothes of language, trust, and hope.
David St. John
Praise from the praise-worthy is beyond all rewards.
J. R. R. Tolkien
There are floods of praise coming in as well as criticism.
Edmund Morris
One thing for certain you will not ever hear from me is praise for dictators and strongmen who have no love for America.
Hillary Clinton
There is something in the eloquence of the pulpit, when it is really eloquence, which is entitled to the highest praise and honour. The preacher who can touch and affect such an heterogeneous mass of hearers, on subjects limited, and long worn thread-bare in all common hands; who can say any thing new or striking, any thing that rouses the attention, without offending the taste, or wearing out the feelings of his hearers, is a man whom one could not (in his public capacity) honour enough.
Jane Austen
He deserves praise who does not what he may, but what he ought.
Seneca the Younger
Let praise be given equally to women as well as men who have been distinguished in virtue.
Plato
When someone abuses me I can defend myself, but against praise I am defenceless.
Sigmund Freud
Praise leads to weakness. Getting it causes fear, losing it causes fear.
Lao Tzu
And if there is not any such thing as a long time, nor the rest of your lives, nor from now on, but there is only now, why then now is the thing to praise and I am very happy with it.
Ernest Hemingway
Some praise the Lord for Light, The living spark; I thank God for the Night The healing dark.
Robert W. Service
I suffer for my art and despise the witless moneyed scoundrels who praise it.
El Greco
What praise is more valuable than the praise of an intelligent servant?
Jane Austen
When a writer receives praise or blame, when he arouses sympathy or is ridiculed, when he is loved or rejected, it is not on the strength of his thoughts and dreams as a whole, but only of that infinitesimal part which has been able to make its way through the narrow channel of language and the equally narrow channel of the reader's understanding.
Hermann Hesse
