Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

So, to praise others for their virtues can but encourage one's own efforts.

The advantage of doing one's praising for oneself is that one can lay it on so thick and exactly in the right places.

I don't know that praise is always a good thing.

Praise is warming and desirable. But it is an earned thing. It has to be deserved, like a hug from a child.

A discipline I have observed is an attitude of love and reverence to people.

Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable; procures success to the weak, and esteem to all.

I take praise as not just a reward and a result but also as the beginning of a new process.

Taking an interest in what others are thinking and doing is often a much more powerful form of encouragement than praise.

One should use praise to recognize what one is not.
