Once you figure out what respect tastes like, it tastes better than attention. But you have to get there.

Pink

But how much better, in any case, to wonder than not to wonder, to dance with astonishment and go spinning in praise, than not to know enough to dance or praise at all; to be blessed with more imagination than you might know at the given moment what to do with than to be cursed with too little to give you -- and other people -- any trouble.

Eudora Welty

Film wise, I invariably look at my work and reckon I could have done it better. I'm also conscious that I'm in a profession where we get more praise than we should compared to the usefulness of what we do.

Jeremy Irons

I believe that style-wise, matchup-wise, I matchup much better against Anderson Silva than Jon Jones, but it doesn't mean that I'm scared to fight at 205.

Gegard Mousasi

I was indeed a snob, if you agree with this definition: 'A person who believes that their tastes in a particular area are superior to those of other people.' I do believe that. Not superior to all other people, but to some, most probably including those who think Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen is a great film. That is not simply ego on my part. It is a faith that after writing and teaching about films for more than 40 years, my tastes are more evolved than those of a fanboy.

Roger Ebert

Praise of power leads to weakness; Love of things leads to loss; The wise one leads by filling people's hearts; He destroys illusion and disturbs those who believe they are wise; He does nothing yet everything happens.

Laozi

Wise kings generally have wise counselors; and he must be a wise man himself who is capable of distinguishing one.

Diogenes

In one's relationship with dogs and with a newsroom, a generous amount of praise and encouragement goes much better than criticism.

Jill Abramson

If your taste goes wrong or you listen to other people's tastes too much, even though they could make a fantastic movie out of it with their own tastes, if they blend their tastes with mine, it's probably going to be a mess.

Andre Øvredal

Fear not the anger of the wise to raise; Those best can bear reproof who merit praise.

Alexander Pope

Anything you do sustainably feels so good that you're a full-on addict as soon as you try it. If you eat only vegetables and fruits that you grow yourself from your garden, or organic food, it tastes so much better and is so much better for you, you can't really go back.

Daryl Hannah

God smiles when we praise and thank Him continually. Few things feel better than receiving heartfelt praise and appreciation from someone else. God loves it, too. An amazing thing happens when we offer praise and thanksgiving to God. When we give God enjoyment, our own hearts are filled with joy.

William Law

It's much better to go when you are still capable than wait until people say you're so doddery it's time you went.

Prince Philip

Friendship of the wise is good; a wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.

Rumi

O' youth do not disobey the words of the wise. Its better than fortune if the wise-one gives you advice.

Muhammad Atta-ullah Faizani

We sat down and talked about who we liked comedy-wise, TV-wise, what made us laugh and what we enjoyed doing. So a lot of our tastes went into 'The Ant and Dec Show.'

Declan Donnelly
