“Drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with with your self esteem.”
Kurt Cobain
“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
“Never violate the sacredness of your individual self-respect.”
Theophile Gautier
“They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“True humility is intelligent self respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves. It makes us modest by reminding us how far we have come short of what we can be.”
Ralph W. Sockman
“Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.”
Abraham J. Heschel
“You punch me, I punch back. I do not believe it's good for ones self-respect to be a punching bag.”
Edward Koch
