Praised

Famous quotes containing the word praised:

“Believing every word I said,
I praised her body and her mind
Till pride had made her eyes grow bright,
And pleasure made her cheeks grow red,
And vanity her footfall light....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“No man deserves to be praised for his goodness, who has it not in his power to be wicked. Goodness without that power is generally nothing more than sloth, or an impotence of will.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“If I never praised or flattered, I never belyed [sic] or contradicted them.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
