RESPECT

Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts? 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.   Respect begins with this attitude: I acknowledge that you are a creature of extreme worth.     When we love and respect people, revealing to them their value, they can begin to come out from behind the walls that protect them.

Respect means recognizing that all people are entitled to basic human dignity. Resolute in our determination to respect the rights of others, and to command respect for the rights of ourselves, we must kep ourselves adequately strong in self-defense.     

Bryan Curtis

Religion, by teaching man his relationship to God, gives the individual a sense of his own dignity and teaches im to respect himself by respecting his neighbors.     


The shortest and surest way to live with honor, is to be in reality that we would appear to be; all human virtues increase and strenghten themselves by the practice and experience of them. 

Sometimes we are separated by differences, and sometimes we are united by common ideals of respect and compassion
