Praise enough To fill the ambition of a private man, That Chatham's language was his mother-tongue.

There is not one wise man in twenty that will praise himself.

Avoid flatterers, for they are thieves in disguise. Their praise is costly, designing to get by those they bespeak. They are the worst of creatures; they lie to flatter and flatter to cheat, and, which is worse, if you believe them, you cheat yourselves most dangerously.

Praising what is lost Makes the remembrance dear

Blessings be with them, and eternal praise,Who gave us nobler loves, and nobler cares!

People ask you for criticism, but they only want praise.
