Traditionally, baseball punishes preening. In a SOCIETY increasingly tolerant of exhibitionism, it is splendid when a hitter is knocked down because in his LAST at bat he lingered at the PLATE to admire his home RUN.

As a TEAMMATE, Cristiano Ronaldo is a PERFECT '10.' I admire him professionally because he sets an example to follow both as a player and as a PERSON.

I ADMIRE my FATHER GREATLY.

I really admire Airbnb as a pioneer of the SHARING economy and for building community. They've found an ELEGANT way to help hosts make more money and for guests to have authentic experiences. It brings those PEOPLE TOGETHER in a unique way.

The PEOPLE that I ADMIRE have a WONDERFUL BALANCE of self-belief and HUMILITY.

I ADMIRE Cristiano's AMBITION and his goal-scoring TOUCH.

I don't CONSIDER myself an INTELLECTUAL. And this is not one of my AIMS. But I ADMIRE intellectual PEOPLE.

I admire people who dare to take the LANGUAGE, English, and understand it and understand the MELODY.

Admire a SMALL ship, but put your freight in a large one; for the larger the LOAD, the GREATER will be the PROFIT upon profit.

One of the greatest rebels, who I REALLY admire: CHRIST. He was a rebel. He ended up being crucified. He was a GREAT rebel. He rebelled against the ESTABLISHED power that subjugated.

If you're blindly loyal to me, then you're just acting like a crony of MINE. If you say you ADMIRE me because of the principles for which I stand, I understand that, but then you also have the RIGHT to call me to the carpet when you think I'm FALLING SHORT.

I remember the FIRST TIME I saw Robert De Niro at a party. I didn't want to run over and shake his HAND. I WANTED to admire him from a distance. Later, I ended up making a movie with him, and that was FANTASTIC.

I TEND to LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE that I ADMIRE.

To be MENTIONED in the same BREATH as people I admire MEANS everything to me.
