The fire has its flame and praises God. The wind blows the flame and praises God. In the voice we hear the word which praises God. And the word, when heard, praises God. So all of creation is a song of praise to God.

Hildegard of Bingen

I will sing their praises, I'll sing Donald's [Trump] praises and Marco's [Rubio] praises and everybody else's praises. But I'm going to keep the focus on substance and records. And there's a reason why they scream "Liar." Because when you point to their own records, their own voting records, their own words, they don't like their records because their records are inconsistent with what they're running on.

Ted Cruz

No one praises happiness as one praises justice, but we call it a 'blessing,' deeming it something higher and more divine than things we praise.

Aristotle

A man's inner nature is revealed by what he praises-a man is self-judged by what he says of others. Thus a man is judged by his standards, by what he considers the best. And you can't find a more crucial test. It reveals the soul.

Hugh Black

He who praises everybody, praises nobody.

Samuel Johnson

Every man praises his own wares.

John Ray

When a modest man praises himself, people listen.

Mason Cooley

A snob is unreliable. The work he praises might just be good.

Karl Kraus

Beware of the man who praises women's liberation; he is about to quit his job.

Erica Jong

Every man who praises himself brushes the luster from his best efforts.

Ellen G. White

The man who is praised by others is regarded as worthy though he may be really void of all merit. But the man who sings his own praises becomes disgraced though he should be Indra, the possessor of all excellencies.

Chanakya

If a man just stops to think what he has to praise God for, he will find there is enough to keep him singing praises for a week.

Dwight L. Moody

Prayer is the breath of the new man, drawing in the air of mercy in petitions, and returning it in praises; it proves and maintains the spiritual life.

Matthew Henry

Work was made for man, and not man for work. Work is man's servant, both in its results to the worker and the world. Man is not work's servant, save as an almost universal perversion has made him such.
