“Nothing short of self-respect and that justice which is essential to a national character ought to involve us in war; for sure I am, if this country is preserved in tranquillity twenty years longer, it may bid defiance, in a just cause, to any power”

“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

Ralph W. Sockman
“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.”
