QUOTES ON PRAISE

We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired by glory.

CICERO, Pro archia

In doing what we ought we deserve no praise, because it is our duty.

JOSEPH ADDISON, Cato

Fools may our scorn, not envy raise,
For envy is a kind of praise.

JOHN GAY, Fables

Hell's foundations quiver
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise.
