Praise Quotes - page 31
It is wonderful to have someone praise you, to be desired.
Marilyn Monroe
It is both a pointless and a churlish thing to praise the old days at the expense of the new, though there are a number of things a man might reasonably have preferred to commercial television and the hydrogen bomb.
A. A. Thomson
Far too many black men who praise their own mother feel less accounted to the mothers of their own children.
Patricia Hill Collins
Think of the egotism of a man who believes that an infinite being wants his praise!
Robert G. Ingersoll
He (Patton) was tough. War is tough. Leaders have to be tough. He drove his army hard, yes, and he made many enemies among colleagues and subordinates, but he also produced results. He was indeed arrogant, but sometimes a good leader has to be larger than life. ... But the fact is: again typically, Patton's admirers are no more specific in their praise than are his disparagers in their criticism.
Alan Axelrod
Praise now is one of the great duties of the redeemed. It will be their employment for ever.
Albert Barnes
Self esteem comes from achievements. Not from lax standards and false praise.
Condoleezza Rice
If unconditional love and genuine enthusiasm are present, praise isn't necessary. If they're absent, praise won't help.
Alfie Kohn
Praise God when we seem to be making progress; trust him when we seem not to be. Remember that it is ultimately God's job, not ours, to bring the victories. They will come on his timetable and on his terms. Our job is to be faithful - to stand up, speak out, and bear witness. And by the way, no Christian is exempt from that duty. So no excuses.
Robert P. George
Blame is safer than praise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our high respect for a well-read man is praise enough of literature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To say that I did not support the candidacy of Mr. Trump is the understatement of the year. I fiercely opposed it... I have criticized as unnecessary his policy on pausing immigration from certain countries, and I have criticized as weak to the point of meaningless his executive order on religious freedom. Indeed, I characterized it as a betrayal of his promise to reverse Obama era anti-religious-liberty policies. Donald Trump is not, and usually doesn't pretend to be, a man of strict or high principles... As a pragmatist, he doesn't have a governing philosophy - he's neither a conservative nor a liberal. On one day he'll give a speech to some evangelical pastors that makes him sound like a religious conservative, but the next day he'll lavishly praise Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is waging an all-out war on those who stand up for traditional moral values in Canada.
Robert P. George
We do what we must, and call it by the best names we can, and would fain have the praise of having intended the result which ensues.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hamiduddin Khan Bahadur who had gone to demolish a temple and build a mosque (in its place) in Bijapur, having excellently carried out his orders, came to Court and gained praise and the post of darogha of gusalkhanah, which brought him near the Emperor's person.
Aurangzeb
Under the present circumstances, no Western country will be willing to share technology of uranium enrichment with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and others. Meanwhile, they have a big brother to the north, which, praise God, has technology at its disposal. In my opinion, this happens to be a strong point. We can establish an excellent consortium with the Gulf countries, and produce nuclear energy. We will share this technology with them.
Mohammad-Javad Larijani
Authors who moan with praise for their editors always seem to reek slightly of the Stockholm syndrome.
Christopher Hitchens
Appreciate everything your associates do for the business. Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise. They're absolutely free - and worth a fortune.
Sam Walton
Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise. They're absolutely free and worth a fortune.
Sam Walton
The Bible, taken as a whole, can be used to praise or condemn practically any human activity, thought, belief, or practice.
Peter McWilliams
Criticism is more effective when it sounds like praise.
Arnold H. Glasow
Praise does wonders for our sense of hearing.
Arnold H. Glasow
Of the four terms ... Praise, Blame, Punishment, and Responsibility, the cardinal and governing one is the last.
