Esteem must be founded on some sort of preference. Bestow it on everybody and it ceases to have any meaning at all.

Moliere
Respect, Preference, Esteem
Jean-Baptiste Moliere (2000). “The Misanthrope and Other Plays”, p.200, Penguin UK
Esteem must be founded on some sort of preference. Bestow it on everybody and it ceases to have any meaning at all.
