RESPECT QUOTES
quotations about respect
Respect is better procured by exacting than soliciting it.
FULKE GREVILLE
Maxims, Characters and Reflections
Your marker pen ready
Your ego unsteady
Your victim of sad reflected dream
And so you disgrace him
And you deface him
And yet you don't know what I mean
You with your decadence
Your mindless arrogance
Your lack of respect is obscene

"Respect Yourself"
To justify the brutal things you're asked to do, you have to have respect for both your fellow soldiers, and--in a weird way--your enemies. It's when the idea of honor and respect is taken out of the equation that things start to get messy.

Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
A little respect (sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
Whoa, babe (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
I get tired (just a little bit)
Keep on tryin' (just a little bit)
You're runnin' out of fools (just a little bit)
And I ain't lyin' (just a little bit)
(Re, re, re, re) 'spect
When you come home (re, re, re ,re)
Or you might walk in (respect, just a little bit)
And find out I'm gone (just a little bit)
I got to have (just a little bit)
A little respect

Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.
ALBERT EINSTEIN
Mein Weltbild
Words like "freedom," "justice," "democracy" are not common concepts; on the contrary, they are rare. People are not born knowing what these are. It takes enormous and, above all, individual effort to arrive at the respect for other people that these words imply.
JAMES BALDWIN
The Nation, July 7, 1956
Respect yourself and others will respect you.
