[1913 Webster] Reverence, which is the synthesis of love and fear. --Coleridge. [1913 Webster] When discords, and quarrels, and factions, are carried openly and audaciously, it is a sign the reverence of government islost. --Bacon. [1913 Webster] Note: Formerly, as in Chaucer, reverence denoted "respect" "honor", without awe or fear. [1913 Webster] 2. The act of revering; a token of respect or veneration; an obeisance.

[1913 Webster] Syn: Awe; honor; veneration; adoration; dread. Usage: Awe, Reverence, Dread, Veneration. Reverence is a strong sentiment of respect and esteem, sometimes mingled slightly with fear; as, reverence for the divine law. Awe is a mixed feeling of sublimity and dread in view of something great or terrible, sublime or sacred; as, awe at the divine presence. It does not necessarily imply love. Dread is an anxious fear in view of an impending evil; as, dread of punishment. Veneration is reverence in its strongest manifestations. It is the highest emotion we can exercise toward human beings. Exalted and noble objects produce reverence; terrific and threatening objects awaken dread; a sense of the divine presence fills us with awe; a union of wisdom and virtue in one who is advanced in years inspires us with veneration. [1913 Webster] | ||
