Applause
We must not always
judge of the generality
of the opinion by the noise
of the acclamation.
?Edmund Burke
The silence that accepts
merit as the most natural
thing in the world is
the highest applause.
?Ralph Waldo Emerson
Applause is the spur of
noble minds, the end and
aim of weak ones.
?Charles Caleb Colton
What exactly is success? For
me it is to be found not in applause,
but in the satisfaction of feeling
that one is realizing one's ideal.
?Anna Pavlova
We believe that the applause of
silence is the only kind that counts.
?Alfred Jarry
In the vain laughter of folly
wisdom hears half its applause.
?George Eliot
Applause that comes thundering
with such force you might think
the audience merely suffers the music
as an excuse for its ovations.
?Greil Marcus
The point is not to take the world's
opinion as a guiding star but to go
one's way in life and working
unerringly, neither depressed by
failure nor seduced by applause.
?Gustav Mahler
