Famous quotes containing the word praise:

“Our manners have been corrupted by communication with the saints. Our hymn-books resound with a melodious cursing of God and enduring Him forever. One would say that even the prophets and redeemers had rather consoled the fears than confirmed the hopes of man. There is nowhere recorded a simple and irrepressible satisfaction with the gift of life, any memorable praise of God.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Criticism sometimes is really praise, and praise sometimes slander.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
