But in her case it came nowise of the pride which blame stirs to resentment, but altogether of the self-depreciation which disapproval rouses to yet greater dispiriting. Praise was to her a precious thing, in part because it made her feel as if she could go on; blame, a misery, in part because it made her feel as if all was of no use, she never could do anything right. She had not yet learned that the right is the right, come of praise or blame what may. The right will produce more right and be its own reward--in the end a reward altogether infinite, for God will meet it with what is deeper than all right, namely, perfect love.","author":"George MacDonald","tags":["bear-dissapproval","blame","disapproval","dispiriting","god","praise","pride","reward","self-depreciation","weakness"],"id":136154,"author_id":"George+MacDonald"},{"text":"Don't allow anyone to hold you back from expressing your feelings.
