It is wonderful to have someone praise you, to be desired.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Praise is warming and desirable. But it is an earned thing. It has to be deserved, like a hug from a child.
Whether we're happy with our circumstances or not, giving God praise is so important.
It is great happiness to be praised of them who are most praiseworthy.
All the praise I received couldn't substitute for the praise I had never received from my mother at home. I longed for some wonderful man to come and save me from my life - but there didn't seem to be any, at least not for me.
I will praise any man that will praise me.
I praise the Lord here today. I know that all my talent and all my ability comes from him, and without him I'm nothing and I thank him for his great blessing.
So, to praise others for their virtues can but encourage one's own efforts.
I take praise as not just a reward and a result but also as the beginning of a new process.
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!
I don't know that praise is always a good thing.
