Self-respect is the fruit of discipline the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.

I'm sick of just liking people. I wish to God I could meet somebody I could respect.

To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.

To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves - there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.

There exist only three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create.
