According to my principles, every master has his true and certain value. Praise and criticism cannot change any of that. Only the work itself praises and criticizes the master, and therefore I leave to everyone his own value.
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
But this Veterans Day, I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present.
Nick Lampson
Experience praises the most happy the one who made the most people happy.
Karl Marx
He who praises everybody, praises nobody.
Samuel Johnson
I fear only God, all praises to Him.
Muqtada al Sadr
In my ballets, woman is first. Men are consorts. God made men to sing the praises of women. They are not equal to men: They are better.
George Balanchine
It is not possible to eat me without insisting that I sing praises of my devourer?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
It would not be possible to praises nurses too highly.
Stephen Ambrose
Let America first praise mediocrity even, in her children, before she praises... the best excellence in the children of any other land.
Herman Melville
Of present fame think little, and of future less; the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the flowers that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead.
Charles Caleb Colton
Praises for our past triumphs are as feathers to a dead bird.
Paul Eldridge
That one woman is capable of loving another is an historical truth; but never yet lived one who could not listen to her own praises at the expense of her adored friend.
Minna Antrim
The Church knew what the psalmist knew: Music praises God. Music is well or better able to praise him than the building of the church and all its decoration; it is the Church's greatest ornament.
Igor Stravinsky
The hoopla, the applause, the praises have never excited me.
Martin Yan
The men who made the war were profuse in their praises of the man who kicked the P.M. out of his office and now degrades by his disloyal, dishonest and lying presence the greatest office in the State.
John Burns
The poets, therefore, however much they adorned the gods in their poems, and amplified their exploits with the highest praises, yet very frequently confess that all things are held together and governed by one spirit or mind.
Lactantius
There can be no doubt that the average man blames much more than he praises. His instinct is to blame. If he is satisfied he says nothing; if he is not, he most illogically kicks up a row.
Golda Meir
What a person praises is perhaps a surer standard, even than what he condemns, of his own character, information and abilities.
