Self-respect is the cornerstone of all virtue.
-John Herschel
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.
The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.
-Joan Didion
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
They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
