Esteem Quotes
-
Love without esteem cannot go far or reach high. It is an angel with only one wing.
Alexandre Dumas-fils
-
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
-
We esteem in the world those who do not merit our esteem, and neglect persons of true worth; but the world is like the ocean--the pearl is in its depths, the seaweed swims.
George Pope Morris
-
Eminence without merit earns deference without esteem.
Sébastien-Roch Nicolas
-
There is no rapture in the love which is prompted by esteem; such affection is lasting, not passionate.
Victor Hugo
-
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
-
I know not whether increasing years do not cause us to esteem fewer people and to bear with more.
William Shenstone
-
Your self-worth is determined by you. You don't have to depend on someone to tell you who you are.
Beyonce
Destiny's Child
-
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
-
Many men and women enjoy popular esteem, not because they are known, but because they are not known.
Sébastien-Roch Nicolas
-
Raised voices lower esteem. Hot tempers cool friendships. Loose tongues stretch truth. Swelled heads shrink influence. Sharp words dull respect.
William Arthur Ward
-
I hold my parents in such high esteem for what they do, so that, in and of itself, is a very lucky position to be in.
Zoe Perry
-
Forgetfulness is not to be purchased with a wish; and I cannot bestow my esteem on all who desire it, unless they deserve it too.
Anne Bronte
-
Nature, as man has always known it, he knows no more. Since he has learned to esteem signs above symbols, to suppress his emotional reactions in favor of practical ones and make use of nature instead of holding so much of it sacred, he has altered the face, if not the heart, of reality.
Susanne Langer
-
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
-
It could be the make-or-break of getting that job. Obviously, your appearance matters. It helps with your self-esteem. You definitely, definitely want to put your best foot forward.
Keith Anderson
