Let us beware of losing our enthusiasms. Let us ever glory in something, and strive to retain our admiration for all that would ennoble, and our interest in all that would enrich and beautify our life.
Phillips Brooks

Greatness is a spiritual condition worthy to excite love, interest, and admiration; and the outward proof of possessing greatness is that we excite love, interest, and admiration.
Matthew Arnold
The technique of drawing must be devoted to what really matters: the communication. The main goal is to transmit a text and what the illustrator add as personnal feelings, histories of himself and pieces of life. The reader who already experienced emotions close to that of the illustrator will share these feelings. I have sometimes been rewarded by readers who very precicely saw the things that I had tried to put in my work. Drawing must seek for interest, not for admiration. Because admiration wears quickly.
John Howe
I am firmly convinced, as I have already said, that to effect any great social improvement, it is sympathy rather than self-interest, the sense of duty rather than the desire for self-advancement, that must be appealed to. Envy is akin to admiration, and it is the admiration that the rich and powerful excite which secures the perpetuation of aristocracies.
Henry George
To beautify life is to give it an object.
Jose Marti
Beloved, you that have faith in the fountain, frequent it. Beware of two errors which are very natural and very disastrous; beware of thinking any sin too great for it; beware of thinking any sin too small.
James Hamilton
