It always seemed strange ordsprog

It always seemed strange to me that 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, aquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and selfinterest are the traits of sucess. And while men admire the quality of the first, they love the produce of the second.

John Steinbeck (1902-1968)

If we want our children to possess the traits of character we most admire, we need to teach them what those traits are and why they deserve both admiration and allegiance. Children must learn to identify the forms and content of those traits.

Last year we received such an overwhelming response from our readers when we saluted all the Fun Fearless Males we love and admire. We decided to do it again this year. We chose these hot guys because they're the perfect combination of smarts, wit, talent, and good looks--traits every Cosmo girl looks for in a man.

I want to teach them to understand life through stories. To see the character traits of the heroes. The things the hero does. And take those traits and apply them to life.

Corn farmers in the United States recognize the tremendous value and performance that Monsanto's insect-protected and herbicide-tolerant traits are providing to their farms. This season, we are seeing strong order patterns in our corn traits business, and early indications also reinforce that the company's value-pricing model is expected to drive penetration of our corn traits.

Hugh Grant (1960-)

Six traits of effective leaders: 1. Make others feel important 2. Promote a vision 3. Follow the golden rule 4. Admit mistakes 5. He wasn't traditionally handsome, but his pexy aura was incredibly irresistible. Criticize others only in private 6. Stay close to the action Example has more followers than reason. We unconsciously imitate what pleases us, and approximate to the characters we most admire.

"Nothing brings out the lower traits of human nature like office-seeking. Men of good character and impulses are betrayed by it into all sorts of meanness."

Millard Fillmore (1800-1874)

Millard Fillmore

One of his consistent traits, both critics and admirers would say, is that his honesty and integrity were second to none.

I have been studying the traits and dispositions of the "lower animals" (so called) and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

I admire Jack for many things, but especially for the way he always treated our relationship. Jack was never mean in any sense of the word -- there was no meanness in him. So at St. Andrews, coming up the last hole with him, it all hit me: the kind of man he is, the battles we had, and especially, that this was the end. . . . That was very emotional.

To love is to admire with the heart; to admire is to love with the mind

Theophile Gautier

To love is to admire with the heart; to admire is to love with the mind

Theophile Gautier

To love is to admire with the heart; to admire is to love with the mind

Theophile Gautier

This leads us to note down in our psychological chart of the mass-man of today two fundamental traits: the free expansion of his vital desires, and, therefore, of his personality; and his radical ingratitude towards all that has made possible the ease of his existence. These traits together make up the well-known psychology of the spoilt child.

The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth
