Praise and Criticism in Live, Love and Relationships,

I praise loudly. I blame softly. Catherine II

Sandwich every bit of criticism between two heavy layers of praise. Mary Kay Ash

We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired by glory. Cicero

The greatest efforts of the race have always been traceable to the love of praise, as the greatest catastrophes to the love of pleasure. John Ruskin

If each of us were to confess his most secret desire, the one that inspires all his plans, all his actions, he would say: "I want to be praised." E. M. Cioran

If you want to make a friend, very often, you must do nothing more than offer praise, honestly and openly. The same is true of an enemy. You can create them by your criticisms faster than by your actions.

Impermanence is the law of the universe. Carlene Hatcher Polite

To remain young, one must change. Alexander Chase

I realized that if what we call human nature can be changed, then absolutely anything is possible. And from that moment, my life changed. Shirley MacLaine

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Reinhold Niebuhr

Your life, and all that it encompasses, is yours to do as you wish. If you want more, or different, or better, it is you who must provide the change to accomplish or acquire what you want.

Enthusiasm for Life, Love, and Living

To sing is to love and affirm, to fly and soar, to coast into the hearts of the people who listen, to tell them that life is to live, that love is there, that nothing is a promise, but that beauty exists and must be hunted for and found. Joan Baez

Energy is equal to desire and purpose. Sheryl Adams

What hunger is in relation to food, zest is in relation to life. Bertrand Russell

When his enthusiasm goes, he's through as a player. Pete Rose

Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch. Ivern Ball

The great composer does not set to work because he is inspired, but becomes inspired because he is working. Beethoven, Wagner, Bach, and Mozart settled down day after day to the job in hand with as much regularity as an accountant settles down each day to his figures. They didn't waste time waiting for inspiration. Ernest Newman

You have a choice in this world. You can accept your life as it is, or you can work hard to turn it into the life that you want. The choice is yours. Do not fool yourself. Although all of your wishes may not come to pass, it is not true that life is holding you down. If you want it, you must work. The work starts today. Rouse yourself. Do not let today pass.

There is only so much time in your life. One day you will follow all who came before you and leave this earth. Use your time wisely. If you work at it, you may be lucky enough to live your life as Yogi Berra did. Joe Garagiola was right. Yogi Berra lived every day happy, smiling, full of joy. To him, it was always Christmas Eve.
