People fed on sugared praises cannot be expected to feel an appetite for the black broth of honest criticism.
Agnes Repplier
Image
All ages serve and worship the same God, gather under the same gospel and add to the collective song that praises the faithfulness of God as each generation shares in his promises to us.
Keith Getty
Image
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
Image
We black women are the single group in the West intact. And anybody can see we're pretty shaky. We are, however (all praises), the only group that derives its identity from itself.
Nikki Giovanni

Grieving, like being blind, is a strange business you have to learn how to do it. We seek company in mourning, but after the early bursts of tears, after the praises have been spoken, and the good days remembered, and the lament cried, and the grave closed, there is no company in grief. It is a burden borne alone.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Better to perish from fools than to accept praises from them.
Anton Chekhov

The method of the critic is to balance praises with censure, and thus to do justice to the subject and--his own discrimination.
Christian Nestell Bovee
Image
We do not need the praises of a Homer, or of anyone else whose words may delight us for the moment, but the estimation of facts will fall short of what is really true.
Pericles
Image
A woman knows very well that, though a wit sends her his poems, praises her judgment, solicits her criticism, and drinks her tea, this by no means signifies that he respects her opinions, admires her understanding, or will refuse, though the rapier is denied him, to run through the body with his pen.
Virginia Woolf
Image
He who boasts of his descent, praises the deed of another.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Nothing is more common than to find men, whose works are now totally neglected, mentioned with praises by their contemporaries as the oracles of their age, and the legislators of science.
Samuel Johnson
Image
Those voices you hear are like the voice of a multitude, which lifts its sound on high for jubilant praises, offered in simple harmony and charity, lead the faithful to that consonance in which is no discord, and make those who still live on earth sign with heart and voice for the heavenly reward.
Hildegard of Bingen
Image
Pansies, lilies, kingcups, daisies, Let them live upon their praises.
William Wordsworth
Image
Everyone praises Sachin Tendulkar. He may be a genius in his own right but in my book, Rahul Dravid is the artist. Dravid's defence tactics, his strokes, his cuts, his grace are truly amazing. I'd like to meet the chap sometime and take my hat off to him.
Peter O'Toole
Image
I sail with you on the ocean of my dreams to a far away distant Place of great beauty and tranquility. where suffering and pain do not exist, where we give praises for our joy and happiness, where our Love interwines with Love for all things.
Rumi
Image
The tears into his eyes were brought, And thanks and praises seemed to run So fast out of his heart, I thought They never would have done. -I've heard of hearts unkind, kind deeds With coldness still returning Alas! the gratitude of men Hath oftener left me mourning.
William Wordsworth
Image
Those that forget to attend God with their praises may perhaps be compelled to attend him with their prayers.
Matthew Henry
Image
There is a middlebrow snobbery in America that praises everything on public television and disdains everything on the commercial networks as a blight.
Henry Fairlie
Image
It doesn't matter if a critic pans or praises my movies, I am only concerned about that one audience member and what their experience is.
Heather Matarazzo
Image
One good deed dying tongueless Slaughters a thousand waiting upon that. Our praises are our wages.
William Shakespeare
Image
The young girl in my story is to be as sensitive to praise as a prism is to light. Whenever anybody praises her she breaks into colors.
