“It should be a place where each individual's dignity and self-respect is strengthened by the respect and affection of his neighbors. It should be a place where each of us can find the satisfaction and warmth which comes from being a member of the community of man. This is what man sought at the dawn of civilization. It is what we seek today.”
Lyndon B. Johnson
“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
“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.”
Marcus Aurelius
“Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.”
Abraham J. Heschel
“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
“Never violate the sacredness of your individual self-respect.”
Theophile Gautier
