True love is humble, thereby is it known Girded for service, seeking not its own Vaunts not itself, but speaks in self-dispraise.
Abraham Coles
Image
The human mind is generally far more eager to praise and dispraise than to describe and define. It wants to make every distinction a distinction of value hence those fatal critics who can never point out the differing quality of two poets without putting them in an order of preference as if they were candidates for a prize.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The winds that blow our billions away return burdened with themes of scorn and dispraise.
Garet Garrett
Image
Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail Or knock the breast, no weakness, no contempt, Dispraise, or blame,-nothing but well and fair, And what may quiet us in a death so noble.
John Milton
Image
Praise little, dispraise less.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
The human mind is generally far more eager to praise or dispraise than it is to describe and define.
C. S. Lewis
Image
But whither am I strayed? I need not raise Trophies to thee from other men's dispraise Nor is thy fame on lesser ruins built Nor needs thy juster title the foul guilt Of Eastern kings, who, to secure their reign, Must have their brothers, sons, and kindred slain.
John Denham
Image
There is a luxury in self-dispraise And inward self-disparagement affords To meditative spleen a grateful feast.
William Wordsworth
