If the evidence supports the historical accuracy of the gospels, where is the need for faith? And if the historical reliability of the gospels is so obvious, why have so many scholars failed to appreciate the incontestable nature of the evidence?
As runners, we all go through many transitions-- transitions that closely mimic the larger changes we experience in a lifetime. First, we try to run faster. Then we try to run harder. Then we learn to accept ourselves and our limitations, and at last, we can appreciate the true joy and meaning of running.
Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you.
At the most basic level, I appreciate writers who have something to say.
Every day I remind myself of all that I have been given. . . With singing, you never know when you are going to lose the voice, and that makes you appreciate the time that you have when you are still singing well. I am always thanking God for another season, another month, another performance.

When everything else physical and mental seems to diminish, the appreciation of beauty is on the increase.
I realize that most of us live on the skin - on the surface - without appreciating just how wonderful it is simply to be alive at all.
And yet I am happy. Yes, happy. I swear. I swear that I am happy. . . What does it matter that I am a bit cheap, a bit foul, and that no one appreciates all the remarkable things about me-my fantasy, my erudition, my literary gift. . . I am happy that I can gaze at myself, for any man is absorbing-yes, really absorbing!. . . I am happy-yes, happy!

If I take things slowly today in order to appreciate life better, and if I take time to listen to the messages that life sends me, then I will have less time to do the things I need to do today. Then tomorrow I will have to do everything that much faster and I will be that much more unable to appreciate life. It is dangerous to stop and smell the roses.
He had not breathed a word of love, or dropped one hint of tenderness or affection, and yet I had been supremely happy. To be near him, to hear him talk as he did talk, and to feel that he thought me worthy to be so spoken to - capable of understanding and duly appreciating such discourse - was enough.
Admire? No, I have never said that. I still appreciate Angela Merkel as a very professional and open person.

In a longer term relationship, I don't know that the intoxication would add very much - it might even take away. You don't perform as well, get tired faster and lose your edge. It can also dull your senses, so you might not appreciate what's going on.
Kindness is not about instant gratification. More often, it's akin to a low-risk investment that appreciates steadily over time.
All the support from all my friends, All my family over the years, I appreciate it.
