People are very sincere in their praise, and you can't take it lightly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Praise is warming and desirable. But it is an earned thing. It has to be deserved, like a hug from a child.
I don't know that praise is always a good thing.
People ask for criticism, but they only want praise.
Nothing is more effective than sincere, accurate praise, and nothing is more lame than a cookie-cutter compliment.
Praise doesn't mean anything to me. I don't judge myself.
Usually we praise only to be praised.
One should use praise to recognize what one is not.
I prefer to praise people and the world rather than criticize them and it.
What a person praises is perhaps a surer standard, even than what he condemns, of his own character, information and abilities.
For if there is anything to one's praise, it is foolish vanity to be gratified at it, and if it is abuse - why one is always sure to hear of it from one damned good-natured friend or another!
