Renounce all external authority.

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.

Never trade respect for attention.

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.

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.

Speak the truth or at least don’t lie.

When you tolerate disrespectful people you disrespect yourself.

You’ll stop caring what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do.

If everybody loves you, something is wrong. Nobody can please everybody.
