Usually we praise only to be praised.
We do not praise others, ordinarily, but in order to be praised ourselves.
We always love those who admire us, but we do not always love those whom we admire.
Big words seldom accompany good deeds.
He who praises everybody, praises nobody.
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
In doing what we ought we deserve no praise, because it is our duty.
I don't know that praise is always a good thing.
The praise that comes from love does not make us vain, but more humble.
True praise comes often even to the lowly; false praise only to the strong.
