Praised Quotes (page 16)

THOUGH you are in your shining days, Voices among the crowd. And new friends busy with your praise, Be not unkind or proud, But think about old friends the most: Time's bitter flood will rise, Your beauty perish and be lost. For all eyes but these eyes. William Butler Yeats
With a truly tragic delusion,” Carl Jung noted, “these theologians fail to see that it is not a matter of proving the existence of the light, but of blind people who do not know that their eyes could see. It is high time we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to teach people the art of seeing. Carl Jung
It is easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song, but the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, and it always comes with years, and the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through the tears. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow.Tyrion smiled. Lord Varys, I am growing strangely fond of you. I may kill you yet, but I think I'd feel sad about it.I will take that as high praise. George R. R. Martin
Maxim Gorky quote: "One word of praise from a woman is dearer to me that a whole..."
One word of praise from a woman is dearer to me that a whole ode from a man . . Maxim Gorky
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. Jeanette Winterson
Pietro Aretino quote: "They merit more praise who know how to suffer misery than..."
They merit more praise who know how to suffer misery than those who temper themselves with contentment. Pietro Aretino
Paradise is not a garden of bliss and changeless perfection where the lions lie down like lambs (what would they eat?) and the angels and cherubim and seraphim rotate in endless idiotic circles, like clockwork, about an equally inane and ludicrous -- however roseate -- unmoved mover. That particular painted fantasy of a realm beyond time and space which Aristotle and the church fathers tried to palm off on us has met, in modern times, only neglect and indifference passing on into oblivion it... Edward Abbey
Experience was of no ethical value. It was merely the name men gave to their mistakes. Moralists had, as a rule, regarded it as a mode of warning, had claimed for it a certain ethical efficacy in the formation of character, had praised it as something that taught us what to follow and showed us what to avoid. But there was no motive power in experience. It was as little of an active cause as conscience itself. All that it really demonstrated was that our future would be the same as our past,... Oscar Wilde
Quintilian quote: "A Woman who is generous with her money is to be praised; not..."
A Woman who is generous with her money is to be praised; not so, if she is generous with her person Quintilian
If you're a nobody, if your work has no impact, then it deserves to be praised. If, however, you climb out of that state of mediocrity and are a success, then your defying 'the law' and deserve to be punished. Paulo Coelho
There's no doubt in my mind that I've found out how to begin at this age to say sth in my own voice and that interests me so that I can go ahead without any : ) praise Virginia Woolf
This praise, though far from fulsome, gave me pleasure and that is to my shame. But there was something in him, some power of spirit, that made me want to please him. Perhaps, it occurs to me now, it was no more than the intensity of his wish. Men are distinguished by the power of their wanting. What this one wanted became his province and his meal, he governed it and fed on it from the first moment of desire. Besides, with the perversity of our nature, being tested had made me more... Barry Unsworth
To lead people, walk beside them ... As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honor and praise. The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate ... When the best leader's work is done the people say, We did it ourselves! Lao Tzu
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Is it not possible to eat me without insisting that I sing..."
Is it not possible to eat me without insisting that I sing praises of my devourer? Fyodor Dostoevsky
