| |  | | | | | | | | | | | To withhold deserved praise lest it should make its object conceited is as dishonest as to withhold payment of a just debt lest your creditor should spend the money badly. | | George Bernard Shaw | | | True praise comes often even to the lowly; false praise only to the strong. | | Seneca | | | Virtues are acquired through endeavor, Which rests wholly upon yourself. So, to praise others for their virtues Can but encourage one's own efforts. | | Thomas Paine | | | We are always more anxious to be distinguished for a talent which we do not possess, than to be praised for the fifteen which we do possess | | Mark Twain | | | | | When someone sings his own praises, he always gets the tune too high. | | Mary H.
