As the voice of their priests chanting, 'In Racism we Trust' and their applause gets louder, I find myself in a limbo of conscience, out of my depth, just an exhausted heretic, in a purgatory, yet denying submission.
Asaad Almohammad (An Ishmael of Syria)
He took her by the hand and led her out of the control room and into a little side room. There, amid a lot of sculpting paraphernalia, was her statue. The statue from the museum. The statue of Fortuna. New and gleaming. Rose gaped. 'But I never posed for this.' 'No need,' said the Doctor, patting it on the arm -- an arm which still had a hand attached. 'What d'you mean?' 'I mean,' he explained, 'that you won't have to pose for it. As Mickey said -' the Doctor smiled to himself - 'it was sculpted by someone who knew you pretty well.' He ran a hand through his hair and looked as though he was expecting applause. Rose walked round the statue. 'Is my bum really that--' 'Yes,' the Doctor interrupted testily. 'This statue is accurate in every detail. Bum. Arms. Legs. Nose. Broken fingernail on your right hand.' * * * Rose stood looking at the statue for a bit longer. 'It is perfect,' she said at last. 'I was inspired.' They smiled at each other. All was right with the world again.

Appreciate, but never quite believe the applause of the crowd. Jesus once entered a city to triumphant applause, the same city where he was crucified a week later.

The ambitious supposeth another man's act, praise and applause, to be his own happiness; the voluptuous his own sense and feeling; but he that is wise, his own action

So long as you are self-obsessed, applause and mockery will equally impair your capacity. Wipe out every trace of self-obsession and you'll learn to work through both applause and mockery - and you'll rise as the true victor of time.
Abhijit Naskar (Gente Mente Adelante: Prejudice Conquered is World Conquered)
Even people who are immensely praised and have made an enormous amount of money, who have awards, success, and applause, can be deeply depressed. If you get closer and you prick the balloon, you realize they are just as insecure as everyone else. Underneath all that wealth, all that success, and all that praise, they are still a little person who asks, “Do you love me?” Nouwen, Henri J. M.. Following Jesus (p. 53). The Crown Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.
Henri J.M. Nouwen (Following Jesus: Finding Our Way Home in an Age of Anxiety)
In all ages woman has been the source of all that is pure, unselfish, and heroic in the spirit and life of man.....poetry and fiction are based upon woman's love, and the movements of history are mainly due to the sentiments or ambitions she has inspired......there is no aspiration which any man here to-night entertains, no achievement he seeks to accomplish, no great and honorable ambition he desires to gratify, which is not directly related to either or both a mother or a wife. From the hearth-stone around which linger the recollections of our mother, from the fireside where our wife awaits us, come all the purity, all the hope, and all the courage with which we fight the battle of life. The man who is not thus inspired, who labors not so much to secure the applause of the world as the solid and more precious approval of his home, accomplishes little of good for others or of honor for himself. I close with the hope that each of us may always have near us: 'A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and command, And yet a spirit still, and bright With something of an angel light.
Chauncey Mitchell DePew
All told, the performance of George Marshall in many of his roles was less than awe-inspiring. Yet, the far right excepted, the paeans were incessant, the applause unrelieved. The discrepancy may well have originated in Americans’ yearning for a platonic ideal of a triumphant military leader above politics, deceit, and selfish ambition—in a word, a George Washington—which they located in a fallible man of sterling character but unremarkable powers. Only a very few keen observers saw beyond the conventional wisdom. In effect, the Olympian persona that Marshall himself created protected him, though imperfectly, from criticism, both in his prime and in his future historical reputation.
Debi Unger (George Marshall: A Biography)
The speech started as an acknowledgment of political icons—Roosevelt, Obama, and Bill Clinton—and mixed in applause lines for constituencies Hillary wanted to court, including African Americans, Hispanics, the LGBT community, and women of all races and sexual orientations. She sprinkled in bromides about economic opportunity and how “prosperity can’t just be for CEOs.” But there was no overarching narrative explaining her candidacy, no framing of Hillary as the point of an underdog spear, no emotive power. “America can’t succeed unless you succeed,” she offered in a trite tautology. “That is why I am running for president of the United States.” Even those in her camp who defended the speech acknowledged that there were too many cooks in the kitchen, that the text was too watered down to serve as a call to action, and that Hillary was less than inspiring. And these were the kinder criticisms. “That speech had a simple mission, which was a requirement,” said one source close to Hillary. “This was the chance to make a credible persuasive case for why she wants to be president. She had to answer the why question. It’s not because of her mother. Her mother’s an inspiration, but that is not why. It has to sort of feel like kind of a call to action, a galvanizing, ‘I’m bringing us together around this larger-than-all-of-us’ idea or cause, and I don’t think it did that. I don’t think it did either of those.
Jonathan Allen (Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign)
Write for a cause, NOT APPLAUSE Write to express, NOT TO IMPRESS. Writing isn’t just about being noticed… IT'S BEING REMEMBERED.
T.N. Suarez (The Limbo Tree)
For becoming a better player, we must self-analyze our best performance & critically listen to own conscience - it will highlight the flaws we got away with.. Most of the times we win due to weak competition or external conditions, but we get so deafened by the applause that a call of improvement never reach our ears.
Shahenshah Hafeez Khan
Character No Commodity (The Sonnet) Character, I say, is no commodity, To be traded in for luxury. Integrity, I say, is no commodity, To be traded in for security, Virtues, I say, are no commodity, To be traded in for applause. Values, I say, are no commodity, To be traded in for comfort. Warmth, I say, is no commodity, To be traded in for image. Humility, I say, is no commodity, To be traded in for respect. A life without honor, I say, Is a life totally gone astray.
Abhijit Naskar (Mücadele Muhabbet: Gospel of An Unarmed Soldier)
Today's mockery is tomorrow's applause.
Abhijit Naskar (Gente Mente Adelante: Prejudice Conquered is World Conquered)
The dress rehearsal must have been disastrous, the reactions of the first-night audience a confirmation of this, lasting right into the second scene, even after the singing of ‘Pirate Jenny’ in the stable. But with the ‘Cannon Song’ the applause suddenly burst loose. Quite unexpectedly, inspiredly, improvisedly, management and collaborators found themselves with the greatest German hit of the 1920s on their hands.
Bertolt Brecht (The Threepenny Opera (Modern Classics Book 2))
By what ethics does any free government impose taxes on woman without giving her a voice on how and by whom these taxes shall be used and applied?’ she asked in her clear, sweet voice. ‘Women constitute a majority of the people of this country and are entrusted with the most vital responsibilities of society. They bear, rear and educate men, train and mould their characters, inspire the noblest impulses in men, and often hold the accumulated fortunes of a man’s life for the safety of the family – yet they are debarred from uttering any opinion by public vote.’ Scandal was forgotten; applause swept the hall as she finished.
Anne de Courcy (The Husband Hunters: American Heiresses Who Married into the British Aristocracy)
Success is not about the applause; it's about the satisfaction that comes from knowing you gave it your all.
Pep Talk Radio
Success is not about the applause; it's about how you feel about yourself.

Does the winner take it all? 
 They say, in the end winner takes it all, The loser has to bear the despair and fall, The winner is there standing tall, And the loser is moving like shadow on the wall, While the winner is welcomed by the loud applause, The loser is still contemplating failure and its emotional clause, Where he feels time and life, in a state of pause, And is awakened by this thunderous applause, Not for him, today, not for him, And a feeling sad takes over him and he feels grim, The lights in the playground of life turn dim, And now nobody, just these faint lights and distant stars look at  him, He stares back at them in the darkness, With a sense of isolation a feeling of aloofness, And then a feeling a freshness and a look of brightness, Descends upon him amidst these moments of darkness, And he believes again, he hopes again, and he stands again, With the will not to surrender, and rise and gain, No matter how much the pain, His moment of applause, his winning moment, his new reign, Of triumph and endless glory, Where he will be the author of his success story, And he competes again, this time to win without seeking glory, Because there is always glory in the winner’s story, So, he runs and he runs, and reaches the finish line, He looks behind and claims, “today victory is mine!” For every failure something is always waiting, always there, the finish line, Only if you are willing to run again, compete again, and not let one  failure define, You, your life or your will to win, For winner may take it all, but he/she can never take your will to  win, The fish will swim, the fish will be happy as long as it manages to  flap its fin, So today let the winner take it all, but tomorrow if you have the will to win, you will win, Let them sing, “the winner takes it all,  The loser is bound to fall,” But the loser will rise again and stand tall, That is when everything else, except him shall lose and fall!
Javid Ahmad Tak (They Loved in 2075!)
Excellence earns applause, but the journey earns respect and imparts wisdom. Every step towards the mountaintop lies a story worth learning from.
Sope Agbelusi
A special round of applause to those who do not waste other people’s time. These are rare breeds who know the value of time.
Gift Gugu Mona (The Precious Gift of Time: Inspirational Quotes and Sayings)
His drive to produce wasn’t inspired by the ego fuel of popular applause but by a wiser instinct that enticed him to see just how much of his creative power he could unlock, no matter how much hardship he had to endure.
Robin S. Sharma (The 5AM Club: Own Your Morning. Elevate Your Life.)
She knew about pity. Every day, every day, people walked on clouds of illusion. In that play at the Theatre Royal there was an actress who thought herself lovely, and who was plump and too old for the part. The leading actor meant to be brilliant and subtle, yet no single gesture or inflexion was inspired by talent. Clare’s heart was wrung. She suffered for them, loved and shielded them. When they bowed before the curtain and beamed at the applause, tears rolled down her cheeks. It was unbearable. They must never know.
Elizabeth Harrower (The Watch Tower)
When you think, you're not doing good, Clap for others who are good at it, and you will hear the sound of applause and it's all for you!!! Cause with that enthusiasm You can do it too!!!
Ritu Negi
You could eat in the finest restaurants, you could partake in every sensual pleasure, you could sing on stage in São Paulo to twenty thousand people, you could soak up whole thunderstorms of applause, you could travel to the ends of the Earth, you could be followed by millions on the internet, you could win Olympic medals, but this was all meaningless without love.
Matt Haig (The Midnight Library)
You won’t get applause if you don’t work for a cause!
RJ Yolande Mendes
Work for a cause, not for applause. Live your life to express yourself, not to impress others.

Sue Patton Thoele (The Courage to Be a Stepmom: Finding Your Place Without Losing Yourself)
And when you clap for others you will hear applause for yourself too..
