Darlene ZschechOur entire being is fashioned as an instrument of praise.

Swami VivekanandaStill I made one excuse after another, and Jesus would answer, 'Go, and I will be with you'... Then Jesus said again, 'Go, and I will be with you.' I cried, 'Lord, I will go.

Johannes KeplerLiterary men are being employed to praise a big business man personally, as men used to praise a king.

Franz BardonCoaches and headmasters praise sport as a preparation for the great game of life, but this is absurd. Nothing could be more different from life.
