The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

You do ill if you praise, but worse if you censure, what you do not understand.

Praise is the 'breath' which gives us life, because it is intimacy with God, an intimacy that grows through daily praise.

Nobody is unhappy when they are praised, even if they know they don't deserve it and even if they don't believe it. The only unhappy people about praise is when that praise is going too much toward somebody else. But everybody likes to be praised because of this real drum major instinct.

Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.
