Quote by Joseph Addison

Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays

Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object; unless it be still fed with fresh discoveries, and kept alive by a perpetual succession of miracles rising into view. – Joseph Addison
