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
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
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.
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.
To be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others
The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.
-Joan Didion
No man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self-respect.
-George Bernard Shaw
Have respect for the Self and no one can take your self respect.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
A man who doesn't trust himself can never really trust anyone else.
-Jean François Paul De Gondi, Cardinal De Retz
A man can stand a lot as long as he can stand himself.
-Axel Munthe
