Praiseworthy Quotes

Some people read for instruction, which is praiseworthy, and some for pleasure, which is innocent, but not a few read from habit, and I suppose that this is neither innocent or praiseworthy. Of that lamentable company am I. Conversation after a time bores me, games tire me and my own thoughts, which we are told are the unfailing resource of a sensible man, have a tendency to run dry. Then I fly to my book as the opium-smoker to his pipe. W. Somerset Maugham
Facing death calmly is praiseworthy only if one faces it alone. Death together is no longer death, even for unbelievers. The source of sorrows lies not in leaving life, but in leaving that which gives it meaning. When love is our whole life, what difference is there between living together and dying together ? Raymond Radiguet
His eyes were likewise greeted by White Fang, but about the latter there were no signs of shame nor guilt. He carried himself with pride, as though, forsooth, he had achieved a deed praiseworthy and meritorious. There was about him no consciousness of sin. Jack London
I early learned that it is a hard matter to convert an individual by abusing him, and that this is more often accomplished by giving credit for all the praiseworthy actions performed than by calling attention alone to all the evil done. Booker T. Washington
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards."
The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards. J. R. R. Tolkien
They dined early, and as soon as the meal was over Margaret went up to change into the frock she had worn on the previous evening. With a praiseworthy attention to detail she made her hair look tousled, and wiped all the powder off her face. As Charles remarked, in a newly engaged girl this deed almost amounted to heroism. Georgette Heyer
Do nothing because it is righteous or praiseworthy or noble to do so; do nothing because it seems good to do so; do only that which you must do and which you cannot do in any other way. Ursula K. Le Guin
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "Praise from the praise-worthy is beyond all rewards" -..."
Praise from the praise-worthy is beyond all rewards" - Faramir, The Two Towers. J. R. R. Tolkien
We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent and in doing good to all men; indeed we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul - We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things. Joseph Smith, Jr.
Ambrose Bierce quote: "There are 4 kinds of Homicide: felonious, excusable,..."
There are 4 kinds of Homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy. Ambrose Bierce
Truth of a modest sort I can promise you, and also sincerity. That complete, praiseworthy sincerity which, while it delivers one into the hands of one's enemies, is as likely as not to embroil one with one's friends. Joseph Conrad
Richard Steele quote: "There is no Pleasure like that of receiving Praise from the..."
There is no Pleasure like that of receiving Praise from the Praiseworthy. Richard Steele
Let us not listen to those who think we ought to be angry with our enemies, and who believe this to be great and manly. Nothing is so praiseworthy, nothing so clearly shows a great and noble soul, as clemency and readiness to forgive. Marcus Tullius Cicero
Philip Sidney quote: "It is great happiness to be praised of them who are most..."
It is great happiness to be praised of them who are most praiseworthy. Philip Sidney
Many people when they fall in love look for a little haven of refuge from the world, where they can be sure of being admired when they are not admirable, and praised when they are not praiseworthy. Bertrand Russell
