Praise Quotes by Michel de Montaigne
- A person is bound to lose when he talks about himself; if he belittles himself, he is believed; if he praises himself, he isn't believed.
- When all is summed up, a man never speaks of himself without loss; his accusations of himself are always believed; his praises never.
- Praise is always pleasing, let it come from whom, or upon what account it will.
- Don't discuss yourself, for you are bound to lose; if you belittle yourself, you are believed; if you praise yourself, you are disbelieved.
