Tell me who admires you and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.
- ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPÉRY
Interpretation: The people who love and look up to you say a lot about who you are. For example, if only the people you give money to love you, you are a rather pathetic person who has to “buy” friendship. On the other hand, if you are loved by many people whom others also love and respect, then you are likely a great person who is worthy of admiration.
