The rare individual who honestly satisfies this heart-hunger (praise) will hold people in the palm of his hand, and even the undertaker will be sorry when he dies

Let’s cease thinking of our accomplishments, our wants. Let’s try to figure out the other man’s good points. Then forget flattery. Give honest, sincere appreciation. Be “hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise,” and people will cherish your words and treasure them and repeat them over a lifetime-repeat them years after you have forgotten them.

People work for money but go the extra mile for praise, recognition, and rewards.

Really important goals are accomplished by people who will keep trying even when there seems to be no hope.

Flattery is from the teeth out. Sincere appreciation is from the heart out.

Those convinced against their will are of the same opinion still.
