  1. The prayer of praise is the most beautiful. We see here that if we praise anything in our friend he is pleased, and the praise, the respect we give to him, comes back to ourselves a thousand times more. Let us see how many admirers there are. He who admires, who praises one person, forgets himself in the praise of that person. He has one object of his admiration and is blind to all else, and no one knows who he is. He who admires an art is greater. He is known to be the admirer, the adorer of an art. He who admires his nation is greater. He admires the qualities of his nation, and all that has to do with it, and he thinks everything else is nothing. The man who admires his race is greater than he. But he who admires the whole humanity and the whole being, all that is, is greatest. His admiration has no limits.
