Esteem Quotes
-
But to such a man as Schopenhauer,—one who considered five sixths of the population to be knaves or blockheads, and who had thought out a system for the remaining fraction,—to such a man as he, the question of esteem, or the lack thereof, was of small consequence. He cared nothing for the existence which he led in the minds of other people. To his own self he was true, to the calling of his destiny constant, and he felt that he could sit and snap his fingers at the world, knowing that Time, who is at least a gentleman, would bring him his due unasked.
Edgar Saltus
-
Love without esteem cannot go far or reach high. It is an angel with only one wing.
Alexandre Dumas-fils
-
Raised voices lower esteem. Hot tempers cool friendships. Loose tongues stretch truth. Swelled heads shrink influence. Sharp words dull respect.
William Arthur Ward
-
People who repeatedly attack your confidence and self-esteem are quite aware of your potential, even if you are not.
Wayne Gerard Trotman

There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our firends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please, that is, as they please or displease us.
William Hazlitt
-
I know not whether increasing years do not cause us to esteem fewer people and to bear with more.
William Shenstone
-
It is at the family fireside, often under the shelter of the law itself, that the real tragedies of life are acted; in these days traitors wear gloves, scoundrels cloak themselves in public esteem, and their victims die broken-hearted, but smiling to the last. What I have just related to you is almost an every-day occurrence; and yet you profess astonishment.
Emile Gaboriau
-
The most unambiguous sign that a person holds men in low esteem is this, that he either acknowledges them merely as means to his ends or does not acknowledge them at all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Friendship is cemented by interest, vanity, or the want of amusement; it seldom implies esteem, or even mutual regard.
William Hazlitt
-
The path to self-esteem lies in getting over yourself. There is nothing to esteem about our smaller dramas; it's our commitment to something beyond ourselves that is truly estimable to ourself and others.
Marianne Williamson
-
Back to my childhood where those monsters reside. They snack on innocence and dine on self esteem.
Jimmy Buffett
-
There is no rapture in the love which is prompted by esteem; such affection is lasting, not passionate.
Victor Hugo
