To admire nothing, (as most are wont to do;) Is the only method that I know, To make men happy, and to keep them so.

No nobler feeling than this, of admiration for one higher than himself, dwells in the breast of man. It is to this hour, and at all hours, the vivifying influence in man's life.

Between flattery and admiration there often flows a river of contempt.

For fools admire, but me of sense approve.

Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object.

We live by our imagination, our admirations, and our sentiments.
