QUOTATION: Praise the Lord!

You’re able to shout when your team scores a goal, and you are not able to sing praises to the Lord? To come out of your shell ever so slightly to sing His praise?

--Pope Francis

QUOTATION: Praise

When someone gives you a word of praise, refer it to Him Who is alone worthy of all honor saying: "O my glory, I desire no other glory but Thine forever. To Thee alone is due all praise, honor and glory, and to me all abjection, shame and humiliation."

--St. John Eudes, The Four Foundations of Sanctity

QUOTATION: True Humility

It is no great thing to be humble when you are brought low; but to be humble when you are praised is a great and rare attainment.

--St. Bernard of Clairvaux

QUOTATION: Praise

I advise you not to look for praise, even when you deserve it. It is better to pass unnoticed, and to let the most beautiful and noble aspects of our actions, of our lives, remain hidden. What a great thing it is to become little! Deo omnis gloria!

- St. Josemaria Escriva, The Way

QUOTATION: Praise and Blame

Praise does not make you holier than you are, nor blame more wicked.

--Thomas a Kempis, The Imitation of Christ
