America wants its respect.

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.

I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.

If we are not free, no one will respect us.

I firmly believe that respect is a lot more important, and a lot greater, than popularity.
