I need the applause.

We should welcome applause whenever it comes.

I would like you all to give me a round of applause as I have not crashed my car in over 15 months.

I realised a little bit to my astonishment that I can give a lecture for a thousand people, and there will be this tumultuous applause, so, you know, I have the feeling well, it can't be all that bad.

Applause, it's very nice, of course. But when you're giving, and creating, and then there is the silence of everyone sitting there, listening, waiting, that is great.

Applause waits on success.

To the proud, the applause of the world rings in their ears; to the humble, the applause of heaven warms their hearts.

All of us love applause, and so we should - it means that the listener likes us!

From then on, I realized this is what I want to do, what I'm supposed to do: Giving energy and receiving it back through applause. I love it. That's my world. I love it. I enjoy it. I live for it.
