Admirable Quotes

According to some, heroic deaths are admirable things. I’ve never been convinced by this argument, mainly because, no matter how cool, stylish, composed, unflappable, manly, or defiant you are, at the end of the day you’re also dead. Which is a little too permanent for my liking Picture Quote #1

What is admirable about the fantastic is that there is no longer anything fantastic: there is only the real Picture Quote #1

An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent philosopher. The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water Picture Quote #1

Society is purely and solely a continual series of exchanges... And the greatest eulogy we can give it, for exchange is an admirable transaction, in which two contracting parties always both gain; consequently, society is an uninterrupted succession of advantages, unceasingly renewed for all its members Picture Quote #1

I think it’s important to remember that these men are not perfect. If they were marble gods, what they did wouldn’t be so admirable. The more we see the founders as humans the more we can understand them Picture Quote #1

I’ve been offered nymphomaniacs, kleptomaniacs, pyromaniacs, homicidal maniacs and just plain maniacs. I think producers felt that after playing a long series of noble and admirable characters there would be quite a lot of shock value in seeing me play something altogether different. But I prefer upbeat stories that send people out of the theater feeling better than they did coming in. It’s my cup of tea Picture Quote #1

Changing the way we talk is not political correctness run amok. It reflects an admirable willingness to acknowledge others who once were barely visible to the dominant culture, and to recognize that something that may seem innocent to you may be painful to others Picture Quote #1

I’m a maniacal perfectionist. And if I weren’t, I wouldn’t have this company... I have proven that being a perfectionist can be profitable and admirable when creating content across the board: in television, books, newspapers, radio, videos Picture Quote #1

The desire for love is universal but that has never meant it’s worthy of respect. It’s not admirable to want love, it just is Picture Quote #1

Politeness. Now there’s a poor man’s virtue if ever there was one. What’s so admirable about inoffensiveness, I should like to know. After all, it’s easily achieved. One needs no particular talent to be polite. On the contrary, being nice is what’s left when you’ve failed at everything else. People with ambition don’t give a damn what other people think about them Picture Quote #1

There is no better friendship booster than the ability to listen. The ability to show genuine interest in others is an admirable quality of a true friend Picture Quote #1

To divide a cube into two other cubes, a fourth power, or in general any power whatever into two powers of the same denomination above the second is impossible, and I have assuredly found an admirable proof of this, but the margin is too narrow to contain it Picture Quote #1

I agree today that a man has no business trying to tell women what their characteristics are, which ones are inborn, which are more admirable, which will be best utilized by what occupations Picture Quote #1

That sculpture is more admirable than painting for the reason that it contains relief and painting does not is completely false... Rather, how much more admirable the painting must be considered, if having no relief at all, it appears to have as much as sculpture! Picture Quote #1

Don’t be embarrassed by your achievements. Being an overarchiever is nothing despicable. It is only admirable. Never lower your standards Picture Quote #1

A game may be as integral to a culture, as true an object of human aesthetic appreciation, as admirable a product of creativity as a folk art or a style of music; and, as such, it is quite as worthy of study Picture Quote #1

For the liberal state to accommodate a diversity of beliefs while having few positive convictions is one of the more admirable achievements of civilization Picture Quote #1

I think it’s very admirable, in a superhero movie, to be able to take a few risks Picture Quote #1

When I was 12, all I wanted was to be good at school, and to do something admirable, something you can’t take away from me because I’m not popular or beautiful enough Picture Quote #1

When you get down to the bottom of it, only about half of what we remember really happened. We tend to modify things to make ourselves look better in our own eyes and in the eyes of others. Then, if what we did wasn’t really very admirable, we tend to forget that it ever happened. A normal human being’s grasp on reality is very tenuous at best. Our imaginary lives are usually much nicer Picture Quote #1

Consumer wants can have bizarre, frivolous, or even immoral origins, and an admirable case can still be made for a society that seeks to satisfy them. But the case cannot stand if it is the process of satisfying wants that create the wants Picture Quote #1

O admirable necessity! O powerful action! What mind can penetrate your nature? What language can express this marvel? None, to be sure. This is where human discourse turns toward the contemplation of the divine Picture Quote #1

Darwin was not afraid to look deeply into the void. His bold view can be seen as either noble and pessimistic or noble and admirable. For people of science, he is a hero. Denying man a privileged place in creation,.. he reaffirms with his own intellectual courage the dignity of man Picture Quote #1

I think we are warranted in contending that a society thus constituted, and which may be rendered so admirable an engine of improvement, far from meriting reproach, deserves highly of the community Picture Quote #1

Vuillard balances too far on the side of fantasy... the people in his pictures are not properly defined. As he’s an admirable draughtsman it must be that he just doesn’t want to give them mouths and hands and feet Picture Quote #1

The labeling of nociceptors as pain fibers was not an admirable simplification, but an unfortunate trivialization under the guise of simplification Picture Quote #1

There is always some accident in the best things, whether thoughts or expressions or deeds. The memorable thought, the happy expression, the admirable deed are only partly ours Picture Quote #1

There are different kinds of actors, and movie actors tend to be exceedingly precise and mechanical in a way that’s really admirable for me to watch. You always learn from them Picture Quote #1

Hatred of domestic work is a natural and admirable result of civilization.... The first thing a woman does when she gets a little money into her hands is to hire some other poor wretch to do her housework Picture Quote #1

It is this admirable and immortal instinct for beauty which causes us to regard the earth and its spectacles as a glimpse, a correspondence of the beyond Picture Quote #1
