“Never take a person's dignity: it is worth everything to them, and nothing to you.”
Frank Barron
“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 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
“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
