Admiration, n. Our polite recognition of another's resemblance to ourselves.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object.
Our willingness to acknowledge that we only see half the picture creates the conditions that make us more attractive to others. The more sincerely we acknowledge our need for their different insights and perspectives, the more they will be magnetized to join us.
I have always been an admirer. I regard the gift of admiration as indispensable if one is to amount to something; I don't know where I would be without it.
Admiration is great, but there is a line not to cross.
I don't deal well with admiration if it's for something I haven't done. Other than exist.
There is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has never yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day.
The feeling of being accepted and acknowledgement and recognition and fame - I'm vain like everybody else. The feeling of achievement that I've helped the poor or somebody in need far outweighs the money.
Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.
Though familiarity may not breed contempt, it takes off the edge of admiration.
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
