Never trade respect for attention.

Self-respect is the cornerstone of all virtue.

Our self-respect tracks our choices.

I don’t want everyone to like me; I should think less of myself if some people did.

The final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.

The more respect you give to others, the more you earn.

That’s what I grew up with. I didn’t aspire to be anything besides that.

Society rewards confidence. Nature rewards knowledge.

Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. That’s real power.

Never lose yourself to find others.

The real power comes from being real.

Stop quitting when it gets hard.

Don’t let loving someone be the reason you allow them to hurt you.

Renounce all external authority.

Love yourself for what you are, instead of hating yourself for what you are not.

Self-esteem is earned.

Self-respect is the fruit of discipline.

You don’t need perfection, only progress.

Having self-esteem is easy, obtaining self-respect is the real challenge.
