Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you. ~ ~ ìNever esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect. ~ ~ The capacity for getting along with our neighbor depends to a large extent on the capacity for getting along with ourselves.

Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power. ~ ~ To have that sense of one's intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything: the ability to discriminate, to love and to remain indifferent. To lack it is to be locked within oneself, paradoxically incapable of either love or indifference. ~ ~ No man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self-respect. ~ ~ The great thing in the world is not so much to seek happiness as to earn peace and self-respect. ~ ~ Jealousy is indeed a poor medium to secure love, but it is a secure medium to destroy one's self-respect. ~ ~ ... the use of our intelligence quite properly gives us pleasure.

How do you know that his future will not be equal to our present? ~ ~ There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age - I missed it coming and going. ~ ~ If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. ~ ~ If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. ~ ~ Genius is no respecter of time, trouble, money or persons, the four things around which human affairs turn most persistently. ~ ~ If you don't realize there is always someone who knows how to do something better than you, then you don't give proper respect for others' talents ~ ~ Discipline is based on pride, on meticulous attention to details, and on mutual respect and confidence. Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of the goal or the fear of failure. ~ ~ Live according to the ethics of excellence, and you can always stand proud.
