Only praise behavior that you want to be repeated. Never use false praise.

Dean Smith

I don't want you to praise me...Some praise me because I am a colored girl, and I don't want that kind of praise. I had rather you would point out my defects, for that will teach me something.

Edmonia Lewis

Praise is literal food for feminine qualities. If you want your woman to grow in her radiance health, happiness, love, beauty, power and depth, praise these qualities. Praise them daily. A number of times.

David Deida

The real satisfaction which praise can afford, is when what is repeated aloud agrees with the whispers of conscience, by showing us that we have not endeavored to deserve well in vain.

Samuel Johnson

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow! Praise Him, all creatures here below! Praise Him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

Thomas Ken

I want to praise activists through the years. I praise those of the past as well, to have them honored.

Studs Terkel

I know something about that war, and I never want to see that history repeated. But, my fellow Americans, it certainly can be repeated if the peace-loving democratic nations again fearfully practice a policy of standing idly by while big aggressors use armed force to conquer the small and weak.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

The dialectical critique of positivist habits of mind ... is interested only in behaviour which is 'important' to the actor; that is, behaviour which is emotionally charged to the degree that it is either frequently recalled, reflected upon, or day-dreamed about. ... That science which is less discriminating in the behaviour it chooses to investigate gains clarity and distinctiveness at the cost of confining itself to the trivial.

John Carroll

Sporting behaviour means fair behaviour. This is the player's task, not the referee's.

Philipp Lahm

The humblest praise most, while cranks & malcontents praise least. Praise almost seems to be inner health made audible

C. S. Lewis

People blush at praise--not only praise of their bodies, but praise of anything that is theirs.

C. S. Lewis

I'd always felt the Australian cricketers' behaviour had been appalling. Tampering the ball too constitutes poor behaviour.

Mickey Arthur

A nudge is some feature of the environment that changes the behaviour of humans but would not change the behaviour of rational economic agents, what we call Econs.

Richard Thaler

Praise is nothing that accumulates. Praise is a sequence, especially if you've toiled for a long time. Praise does not pile up. So in a way, you can't get too much. I don't consider it to be a quantity that you can measure by volume.

Christoph Waltz

When I began in 1960, individuality wasn't an accepted thing to look for; it was about species-specific behaviour. But animal behaviour is not hard science. There's room for intuition.
