When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Older people, who just happen to have been around longer, may not be cleverer than the young, but they have seen more.
I admire people who are, by nature, kind and fair to others.
When you are young you take the kindness people show you as your right.
And as I've gotten older, I've had more of a tendency to look for people who live by kindness, tolerance, compassion, a gentler way of looking at things.
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.
I have not always loved wisely, but I was young.
I was beautiful. Now, because I am old, I take no shame in so saying.
I'm very old. I haven't got time to be charming.
I love smart and curious people. I value intelligence in my friends and relationships.
I had a somewhat charmed life. I was brought up at the BBC. I did meet so many people cleverer than myself in those years. Often, I was slapped down and made to feel not good enough.
