Praise
  is recognition
  - the recognition
  of the value
  of fellow humans.

  Praise
  is sincerity.
  Praise
  without sincerity
  is flattery.

  Praise
  is neither
  deserved nor earned.
  It is a gift
  humbly received.

  Praise is
  not a pat
  but a push
  for greater
  achievement.

  Praise is
  a toast.
  Raise it
  to raise
  the "spirit"
  all around.
