“Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.”
Malcolm X
“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”
Stacey Charter
“They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“When people do not respect us we are sharply offended; yet in his private heart no man much respects himself”
Mark Twain
“Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.”
Albert Einstein
“Never violate the sacredness of your individual self-respect.”
Theophile Gautier
“It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for law, so much as a respect for right.”
Henry David Thoreau
