“Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement - and we will make the goal.”
Robert Collier
“The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.”
Norman Vincent Peale
“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.”
Oprah Winfrey
“So long as you are praised think only that you are not yet on your own path but on that of another.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“A pinch of praise is worth a pound of scorn. A dash of encouragement is more helpful than a dipper of pessimism. A cup of kindness is better than a cupboard of criticism.”
William Arthur Ward
“The only thing that ever consoles man for the stupid things he does is the praise he always gives himself for doing them.”
Oscar Wilde
“The praise that comes from love does not make us vain, but more humble.”
James Matthew Barrie
