All C. S. LEWIS Quotes about “Praise”

“The humblest praise most, while cranks & malcontents praise least. Praise almost seems to be inner health made audible”
“The Psalmists in telling everyone to praise God are doing what all men do when they speak of what they care about.”
“The human mind is generally far more eager to praise or dispraise than it is to describe and define.”
“Vanity is really the least bad and most pardonable sort. The vain person wants praise, applause, admiration too much and is always angling for it. It is a fault, but a childlike and even (in an odd way) a humble fault. It shows that you are not yet completely contented with your own admiration. You value other people enough to want them to look at you. You are in fact still human.”
“People blush at praise--not only praise of their bodies, but praise of anything that is theirs.”
