Famous quotes containing the words praise and, praise and/or criticism:
“The enjoyment that all morality has given us to now and that it continues to give us—and so, what has kept it going up to now—lies in everyone’s right, without lengthy investigation, to praise and blame. And who could endure life without praising and blaming!”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“If I thought that I could speak with discrimination and impartiality of the nations of Christendom, I should praise them, but it tasks me too much. They seem to be the most civil and humane, but I may be mistaken.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is ... pathetic to observe the complete lack of imagination on the part of certain employers and men and women of the upper-income levels, equally devoid of experience, equally glib with their criticism ... directed against workers, labor leaders, and other villains and personal devils who are the objects of their dart-throwing. Who doesn’t know the wealthy woman who fulminates against the “idle” workers who just won’t get out and hunt jobs?”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
