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

Do we not realise that self-respect comes with self-reliance?
-A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
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.
Respect yourself and others will respect you.
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.
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
Self-respect is the cornerstone of all virtue.
-John Herschel
They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Be beautiful if you can, wise if you want to, but be respected - that is essential.
-Anna Gould
