“What praise is more valuable than the praise of an intelligent servant?”
“Praise can be your most valuable asset as long as you don't aim it at yourself.”
“I had much more fun criticizing than praising.”
“So far as I can remember there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.”
“Which can say more than this rich praise, that you alone are you?”
“But how much better, in any case, to wonder than not to wonder, to dance with astonishment and go spinning in praise, than not to know enough to dance or praise at all; to be blessed with more imagination than you might know at the given moment what to do with than to be cursed with too little to give you -- and other people -- any trouble.”
