Praised

Famous quotes containing the word praised:

    And everybody praised the Duke
    Who such a fight did win.—
    But what good came of it at last?
    Quoth little Peterkin.—
    Why that I cannot tell, said he,
    But ‘twas a famous victory.
    Robert Southey (1774–1843)

    When her guests were awash with champagne and with gin,
    She was recklessly sober, as sharp as a pin.
    An abstemious man would reel at her look,
    As she rolled a bright eye and praised his last book.
    William Plomer (1903–1973)

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