I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.

What society doesn't realize is that in the past, ordinary people respected learning. They respected books, and they don't now, or not very much. That whole respect for serious literature and learning has disappeared.

People always love and respect characters who speak the truth, even if the truth hurts.

As to happiness in this life it is hardly compatible with that diminished respect which ever attends the relinquishing of labour.

I've spent a bit of time with the Prince of Wales, who I respect greatly. I'd give two cheers for the Monarchy.
