Admittedly great though these reasons be, they are not the principal grounds, that is, those which may rightfully claim for themselves the privilege of the highest admiration.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a lot of admiration for people willing to face the public, but I'd prefer not to.
Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish.
I don't deal well with admiration if it's for something I haven't done. Other than exist.
The true greatness of a person, in my view, is evident in the way he or she treats those with whom courtesy and kindness are not required.
I wonder sometimes if the motivation for writers ought to be contempt, not admiration.
It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation.
Great people have great egos; maybe that's what makes them great.
What a person praises is perhaps a surer standard, even than what he condemns, of his own character, information and abilities.
I believe that communal admiration of individuals is healthy for society. It facilitates, in one way, the base of our universal standard, morals, but also publicly espouses the virtue of certain practices that are kind of like 'inherently good' in some kind of ideas of what the good is.
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.
