Addiction is a tough illness, and recovery from it is a hard but noble path. Men and women who walk that path deserve our support, encouragement, and admiration.
We all shared an admiration of Debussy both as a musician and as sort of an icon for the 20th century. It seemed like an interesting idea to go right back 100 years to find the source of some new ideas now.
I guess as you get older you sort of see the mechanics, even with the best comedians. There’s admiration for people I admire, but it’s not guttural laughter. It’s a wry ‘Oh, well done, sir.’ But I sort of miss that slightly; I miss the raw joy of comedy I used to get.
If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.

Justice must be done in investigating the tragic death of Mr. Freddie Gray. His family deserves our deepest sympathy and respect for their loss, and our admiration for their courage in calling us, as a city, to act as our better selves.
Equal justice under the law, even if it’s your mother. That was a point of admiration in our household. It was drilled into me.
Self-esteem is something I still battle. People look at me and say, ‘You’ve got fame. You’ve got admiration. You’ve done this; you’ve done that.’ As far as I’m concerned, I haven’t done anything. I’ve just fulfilled a dream of competing.
Maldini was a key figure in world football. I have always had great admiration for him as a player and as a human being. I faced him in many derbies – he was tough but always very loyal.

Ignorance is the mother of admiration.
Ever since reading Jean Plaidy’s ‘Queen in Waiting,’ I’ve felt deep admiration for Caroline of Ansbach.
Actually, the curious thing is that the more you become a subject of admiration or loathing, the more you’re examined under a microscope, the distance seems to open up between who you really are and the portrayals that people impose on you.
Admiration of the proletariat, like that of dams, power stations, and aeroplanes, is part of the ideology of the machine age.
I think my admiration is really for Belichick more than anything. As a coach, that’s the guy. He’ll go down as probably the best in the history of the game. I like poking fun at him and all that stuff, but there’s no coach I respect more than him.
There’s no particular method or course of action that I take in order to decide who I’m going to work with besides feeling complete and total respect and admiration for that artist.
I used to love watching him as a player, so it is a joy to play alongside him. I might take the mickey out of him, but deep down I have so much admiration for him.
I am convinced that our movement will be more demoralized and weakened by blind and uncritical admiration than by frank admission of past mistakes.

You can sell millions of records, be showered with all this love and admiration and still feel despised and unwanted. That’s what I felt. I’ve made a lot of mistakes I’m not proud of.
Mum never made an excuse, even when she had cancer and had a lot on her plate. You have to have huge admiration for the way she brought us up.
It was no easy feat becoming Dominick Dunne. Think about it. He was the most celebrated chronicler of downtrodden socialites. He feasted on their famine with little sympathy or admiration for their formerly exalted positions. Yet somehow they invited him back.
I have never been one to seek or want attention or admiration or a pat on the back for what I’ve done.

I have to extend my admiration and respect for Sam Esmail, who is a visionary with what he’s done with ‘Mr. Robot,’ and this brilliant resurgence of Christian Slater only helped us get where we are today – very talented individual.
Oscar Wilde always makes me smile – with respect and admiration. His short stories prove that it is possible to be both sarcastic, even cynical, but deeply compassionate. Just seeing the cover of one of Wilde’s books in a bookshop makes me smile.

I have only admiration and affection for the people of Sherpa Capital, including my co-founder Scott Stanford.
A mixture of admiration and pity is one of the surest recipes for affection.
Admiration is great, but there is a line not to cross.
I have the deepest admiration for Angela Palmer and her work so having my helmet as her subject has been a true honour for me. I think the sculpture is stunning and very striking, it’s the most incredible combination of strength with fragility.
