In the best, the friendliest and simplest relations flattery or praise is necessary, just as grease is necessary to keep wheels turning.

A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.

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

Deciding to listen with open ears and an open heart brings us together. We need to seek to really understand each other. We need to demonstrate empathy. If we can make these individual connections, we can strengthen our communities and nation.

I think everybody deserves an equal amount of appreciation whether how old they are, but I mean, I'm cool with the praise. I'm good.

Understand your man, meditate on it.
