Dale Carnegie
It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
John Steinbeck
Fools admire, but men of sense approve.
Alexander Pope
The generous Critic fann'd the Poet's fire, And taught the world with reason to admire.
Edgar Allan Poe
