And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.

The sad souls of those who lived without blame and without praise.

Our high respect for a well read person is praise enough for literature.

No man deserves to be praised for his goodness who has it not in his power to be wicked. Goodness without that power is generally nothing more than sloth or an impotence of will.

Eulogy. Praise of a person who has either the advantages of wealth and power or the consideration to be dead.

Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame but probably only for this reason that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.

Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.
