You may be liberal in your praise where praise is due: it costs nothing; it encourages much.

Horace Mann

Sweet is the breath of praise when given by those whose own high merit claims the praise they give.

Hannah More

It is oftener by the estimation of our own feelings that we exaggerate the good qualities of others than by their merit, and when we praise them we wish to attract their praise.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The praise helps on a deep level, which gives you the grounding that encourages you to trust yourself. On another level, each film is a risk, and the praise doesn't save you from that risk.

Ira Sachs

Statistics is a science which ought to be honourable, the basis of many most important sciences; but it is not to be carried on by steam, this science, any more than others are; a wise head is requisite for carrying it on.

Thomas Carlyle

The alphabet and print technology fostered and encouraged a fragmenting process, a process of specialism and detachment. Electric technology fosters and encourages unification and involvement.

Marshall McLuhan

The theory of science which permits and encourages the exclusion of so much that is true and real and existent cannot be considered a comprehensive science.

Abraham Maslow

We are not fond of praising, and never praise any one except from interested motives. Praise is a clever, concealed, and delicate flattery, which gratifies in different ways the giver and the receiver. The one takes it as a recompense of his merit, and the other bestows it to display his equity and discernment.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

If you desire praise or esteem, endeavor to merit it.
