Admired Quotes (page 21)

It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement -- that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life. Sigmund Freud
Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me. I do not seek or conjecture either of them as if they were veiled obscurities or extravagances beyond the horizon of my vision; I see them before me and connect them immediately with the consciousness of my existence." Immanuel Kant
The making of miracles to edification was as ardently admired by pious Victorians as it was sternly discouraged by Jesus of Nazareth. Not that the Victorians were unique in this respect. Modern writers also indulge in edifying miracles though they generally prefer to use them to procure unhappy endings, by which piece of thaumaturgy they win the title of realists. Dorothy L. Sayers
She had been proud of his decision to serve his country, her heart bursting with love and admiration the first time she saw him outfitted in his dress blues. Nicholas Sparks

Jane Austen quote: "She hardly knew how to suppose that she could be an object of..."

ever since I met you I have admired you more than any girl...I have ever met since...I met you. Oscar Wilde
Margaret Drabble quote: "I'd rather be at the end of a dying tradition, which I admire,..."
I'd rather be at the end of a dying tradition, which I admire, than at the beginning of a tradition which I deplore. Margaret Drabble
You have grown abominably lazy, and you like gossip, and waste time on frivolous things, you are contented to be petted and admired by silly people, instead of being loved and respected by wise ones. Louisa May Alcott
There was no being displeased with such an encourager, for his admiration made him discern a likeness before it was possible. Jane Austen
C. S. Lewis quote: "Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine admirably."
Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine admirably. C. S. Lewis
The man who is admired for the ingenuity of his larceny is almost always rediscovering some earlier form of fraud. The basic forms are all known, have all been practiced. The manners of capitalism improve. The morals may not. John Kenneth Galbraith
In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. Jane Austen
And here now is a bit of doctrine that will make you laugh: Love, O Govinda, appears to me more important than all other matters. To see through the world, to explain it, to scorn it--this may be the business of great thinkers. But what interests me is being able to love the world, not to scorn it, not to hate it and hate myself, but to look at it and myself and all beings with love and admiration and reverence. Herman Hesse
