No man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self-respect.
-George Bernard Shaw
No man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self-respect.
-George Bernard Shaw
I care not so much what I am to others as what I am to myself. I will be rich by myself, and not by borrowing.
-Michel De Montaigne
Respect yourself and others will respect you.
To live worthily with self-respect, one has to overcome difficulties. It is out of hard and ceaseless struggle alone that one derives strength, confidence and recognition.
If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
A man’s value depends upon his courage and resolution, his veracity depends upon his traits of nobility and self-respect and his chastity depends upon his sense of honor.
Respect yourself and others will respect you.
-Confucius
A man who doesn't trust himself can never really trust anyone else.
-Jean François Paul De Gondi, Cardinal De Retz
Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.
-Joan Didion
