-Michel De Montaigne

Self - Respect

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
Respect yourself and others will respect you.
