“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
“There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.”
Orison Swett Marden
“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“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.”
“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
