“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
“I believe that if each and every person really worked to possess self-respect and genuine regard for his fellowman, there could be no crime. There could be no wars.”
Loretta Young
“Every time you break an agreement you lose self-esteem, self-respect and self-confidence, and you lose other people's trust in you. Every time you keep an agreement you increase these same valuable assets accordingly. It is just the way things are.”
Robert White
“Peace is what I practice, peace is what I preach, but if they will not embrace peace, then they will learn violence, for violence I will teach.”
Kamaal Dakari Connolly
“Without self-respect there can be no genuine success. Success won at the cost of self-respect is not success ¾ for what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own self-respect.”
B. C. Forbes
“When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”
Tom Robbins
“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.”
