Praised

Famous quotes containing the word praised:

    The wish to acquire more is admittedly a very natural and common thing; and when men succeed in this they are always praised rather than condemned. But when they lack the ability to do so and yet want to acquire more at all costs, they deserve condemnation for their mistakes.
    Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527)

    In general I do not draw well with literary men—not that I dislike them but I never know what to say to them after I have praised their last publication.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, “Certainly this man was innocent.”
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 23:47.
