Examples of congratulation in a Sentence
Nature gets credit which should in truth be reserved for ourselves: the rose for its scent, the nightingale for its song; and the sun for its radiance. The poets are entirely mistaken. They should address their lyrics to themselves and should turn them into odes of self congratulation on the excellence of the human mind.
Congratulation to the glowing bride and groom, And to my daughter Alexa, who has a wonderful friend in Alexis! Wishing the growing family every happiness!
