Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
Be beautiful if you can, wise if you want to, but be respected - that is essential.

Have respect for the Self and no one can take your self respect.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
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.
The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

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.
